Little Acorns Bookstore in Derry is hosting a typewriting event this coming Friday night, 19th September 2014, for Culture Night. Little Acorns invites all visitors on Culture Night 2014 in Derr to partake in a typewriting challenge by two of the 30 vintage typewriters in store by answering the question: ‘What is the bet thing about Derry?’. There will be no delete buttons, tipex or erasers insight. There won’t even be a ‘spell check’! The finished results will be exhibited in Little Acorns after the weekend.
Little Acorns Bookstore (Derry) is also home to over 10,000 new and used books, the LegenDerr Writers’ Chair and Theatre and Media Chair (with over 100 autographs to date). Such signatures boast luminaries Carol Ann Duffy, Melvyn Bragg, Jennifer Johnston, Stephen Rea, Jon Ronson, Oliver Jeffers and man more.
Little Acorns is possibly the smallest typewriter museum in Ireland with over 25 vintage typewriters on display ranging in colour, make, age and condition!
Do come along along to Little Acorns this Friday night and see for yourself and maybe even take part in the ‘typewriting challenge’. It shall be fun!
