Here was just a little reminder at a Lilac Time Parade in the 1950s that Christmas was just around the corner. Not to scare anyone, but it is now only 9 weeks away! Do you prepare early for Christmas or are you more of a last-minute person?

✍️ Meet the author ✍️

Richard Glover’s most recent book is How to Ruin a Child – a journey into the alarming, hilarious and ever-changing advice given to Australian parents.

He is also the author of Best Wishes, a book about making the world a better, less annoying place, one wish at a time; and Love, Clancy – a collection of the letters sent home by his dog Clancy to his parents in the bush. His bestseller The Land Before Avocado is an account of the bizarre Australia of the late 60s and early 70s.

Richard’s previous books also include Flesh Wounds, which was voted one of the top five books of the year by viewers of ABC television’s “The Book Club” and won the Readers’ Choice Award as Biography of the Year in the 2016 Australian Book Industry Awards.

He has written regularly for the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Washington Post, and also presented the comedy program Thank God It’s Friday on ABC local radio for many years.

We are looking forward to having Richard visit next month, for a hilarious and insightful evening chatting all things parenting, conflicting advice, generational wisdom, and more.

Another wonderfully attended event at the library on Friday evening! We were lucky to have Penelope Janu Author in conversation with Sarah Clutton Author and discover the story behind Sarah's latest book, 'The Bookshop of Buried Pasts'. It was fascinating to hear Sarah talk about the writing process and gain insight into how she develops her characters.
We are looking forward to hearing all about the next books from both Sarah and Penelope!
