Y LLYFRGELL ACHUB | THE SAVED LIBRARY

 

 

 

08/09/18 – 09/09/18

 

‘Achup – gafael neu ddaliad (o dir)
Achubion – y pethau sy’n goroesi, neu gael eu cadw/arbed

Pa lyfrau wnewch chi achub?

Yn aml, ystyrir casgliadau llyfrgell yn bethau parhaol a pharhaus, cronfa o wybodaeth sydd rhywsut yn dragwyddol ac yn ddigyfnewid.
Ond pwy sydd yn penderfynnu pa wybodaeth sy’n cael ei chasglu?’

‘Sauver – to keep (safe), protect, redeem
Salvus – reserve for future use

Which books will you save…?

Library collections are often imbued with a sense of permanency, a repository of knowledge that is categorised, fixed and eternal.
But who decides what material should be collected? ‘

Daeth menywod at ei gilydd o dros Brydain a phob un yn dod â thri llyfr gyda hi, er mwyn creu llyfrgell dros dro o waith gan fenywod yng Nghapel y Graig yn Ffwrnais, Ceredigion.

Gan ddechrau ar ddydd Sadwrn yr 8fed of Fedi ac yn parhau hyd oriau mân bore Sul byddant yn darllen yn uchel o’r llyfrau hyn, heb egwyl. Llenwir gofod y Capel â lleisiau a geiriau menywod ar faterion mawr a mân…

A group of women have come together from across the UK, each bringing three books with them, to create a temporary library of the work of women authors at Capel y Graig in Furnace, Ceredigion.

On Saturday 8th and on into the early hours of Sunday morning they will have been reading aloud from this library in an uninterrupted flow. The space will be charged with the words and voices of many women on matters great and small…

At 3pm the Library will close and the women and the books will disperse….

Bydd y llyfrgell yn cau am 3 o’r gloch a bydd y menywod a’r llyfrau yn gwasgaru…
