There will be books, stories, poetry and great ideas on offer when Hamworthy Library hosts Poole Libraries’ Readers’ Day on Thursday 16 September.
Whatever your taste in books, whether you favour fiction or fact, come along from 11am when the event starts with morning coffee. Drinks will be followed by poetry and story sessions, ideas and book swaps. Bring along a couple of books you have read, and take some other titles away.
After lunch, which is available at the library’s excellent Bookbites Café, two special guests will take centre stage, talking about the book scene locally and regionally.
Tracey Guiry is the Chief Executive of Cyprus Well, the South West Literature Development Agency. She will be profiling the work of this lively new agency and introducing its website. There will also be a chance for guests to talk about their reading experiences in a feedback session.
Sue Luminati is the creator and driving force of Poole’s exciting Literary Festival planned for the end of October. She will be giving us the inside story and all the latest news of the festival and its impressive list of participating authors, from Michael Morpurgo to the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy.
Anyone is welcome to attend for the morning session from 11am, the afternoon from 1.30pm, or why not come along for the whole day. Book your free place in Hamworthy Library or by ringing 01202 672750.
