Hello again

Have you had a good weekend?  As there's a bit of the nip in the air it's starting to feel a bit autumnal, which reminded me to tell you about some of the events we have coming up in the last part of the year (it's very scary to think that we are almost 2/3 of the way through 2008, but that's another story!)

We have the Readers' Festival on 25th October, where we are playing host to authors Sophie Hannah, G.S. Beard and Karen Maitland, and there are also stalls, quizzes, prizes and workshops. 

We also have an evening 'Starring John Hegley' on 14 November at the Central Library in Scunthorpe.  Don't miss the chance to see the renowned performance poet, famous for being brought up in Luton and wearing glasses!

Then on 28 November it's 'From Crimewatch and Yahoo to a Perfect Night: An evening with Peter Grimsdale'.  With his debut novel chosen as Radio 4's Book at Bedtime earlier this month he will be telling us all about this psychological thriller as well as his previous career as producer of Big Brother and Crimewatch, and editorial director of Yahoo Europe.  (And as proof that we can't be too scary here in North Lincolnshire he's married to author Stephanie Calman, who we played host to a couple of years ago!)

Full details of how to get tickets will be coming soon on our website www.northlincs.gov.uk/libraries.

Please come along and join us at one of these events, I'm really looking forward to them, so they're bound to be great!

Until next time

Suzanne
