It’s the National Year of Reading, and to celebrate we are offering families a great opportunity to be involved with a free author talk.
We are delighted to welcome Carnegie Medal winning author Anthony McGowan back to North Lincolnshire. Anthony joined us during National Storytelling Week earlier this year to launch the National Year of Reading.
Anthony has been writing critically acclaimed fiction and non-fiction for adults, teenagers and children for more than 20 years, and his books include ‘Dogs of the Deadlands’, ‘Lark’ and ‘I am the minotaur’. His novel ‘The beck’ was nominated for the 2026 CILIP Carnegie Medal.
Anthony will talk about his new novel, ‘Birdlands’.
All welcome. Each event will last for approximately an hour and is suitable for children aged between 6 and 16 and their families.
This is a free event, but places are limited. Please book a place for everyone who will be attending by emailing [email protected]
