Book Talks
Local author talks are a success
Since Gaye hosted Cara Hunter at the Five Little Pigs in Wallingford in March, where she told us about new characters and old in her latest thriller, Gaye has been busy organising an evening with local author Gill Hornby. Gill is the author of Miss Austen (the recent show on the BBC), The Hive, and All Together Now, as well as The Story of Jane Austen, a biography of Austen for young readers. Her most recent novel is Godermsham Park, and Gill chatted to Gaye about this in the Morrell Rooms at the end of June. A very fine and warm evening was had by all and we are grateful that such talented authors tun out for us.
You can see here some of the past events we have run so you can see the variety of talks, events and clubs we host. Come and meet friends, stay to enjoy a chat, play scrabble, listen to a story, choose books and see what the library and membership of the Friends has to offer.
Membership offers advance information about up and coming events and helps fund extras for our library such as our customer advisor to help the manager and new books our members would like to borrow.
