00:00 Hi, I'm Molly Ray. I'm a Lancaster-based comic artist and illustrator.
00:05 My debut graphic novel, Giant, comes out this year with Faber and Faber.
00:10 I'm very excited to be involved with this new project with the local library
00:15 to create a socially inclusive, attractive environment in the children's library.
00:21 The idea for the project is to create three murals in the shape of the existing windows
00:27 so that when you go into the space, you're not just looking out the windows at Lancaster,
00:31 but you're also looking through these new windows into Lancaster history.
00:37 And the idea is to create a space that celebrates Lancaster history,
00:43 but also creates a welcoming environment so that new people and local people can come in
00:53 and see their history celebrated in their local library.
