Thank you everyone who turned out and supported this event. Had a great afternoon in the book shop, chatting, signing books and eating more beetles...

QUARRY LAUNCH AT WIVELISCOMBE LIBRARY

We had a fantastic afternoon at Wiveliscombe library to launch QUARRY, with brilliant and inspiring questions from Kingsmead School students, a brownie mountain, a 'cockroach hunt' whereby the little 'uns hunted down chocolate cockroaches amongst the book shelves and a great turnout. Thanks to Jenny and Linda for their support. And to Charlotte, my PA for the day who did a great job selling oodles of books and to Dan who wowed the lovely library ladies with his baking... Great that we could have this event here!

And tomorrow is a national day of action to SAVE OUR FANTASTIC LIBRARIES!!!
