From 15 November, the Zinnenfabriek will open its doors at Nieuwestad 29 in Leeuwarden. This pop-up poetry shop was founded by City Poet Marrit Jellema, in collaboration with the municipality of Leeuwarden. The shop is run by Marrit and her team of spoken word artists. Young and old are welcome to browse through cabinets and compartments full of surprising texts and original poems. The Zinnenfabriek is open on Friday and Saturday afternoons from 12:00 to 17:00, until mid-December. On 30 November, the Culturele Apotheek (Cultural Pharmacy) will hold a walk-in consultation in the Zinnenfabriek.

Suffering from decision making stress, from unfulfilled desires or gift-giving doubts? From impending December fatigue or a broken heart? Leeuwarden City of Literature and the Culturele Apotheek offer relief from these and other everyday ailments! Come to the walk-in consultation hour Books on Prescription at the Zinnenfabriek on Saturday 30 November between 1:30 and 3:30 PM for a short but intense consultation and to pour out your heart. You will then receive your very personal custom book prescription on the spot, including the correct dosage, the best time to take it and any side effects. You can then buy the prescribed books at a bookstore in the city or borrow them from dbieb!
