In December 1998, the Durham First Folio, a copy of William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, was stolen along with six other items while on display in Cosin’s Library. In 2008, a badly damaged book was brought to the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C. & experts identified it as the missing copy & it was returned to Palace Green Library. This FREE exhibition tells the story. Due to limited capacity booking is recommended.
