Poet pops in for National Libraries Day

Press Release Date: 17 January 2012

Cinnamon Press Poetry Award winner Anne Caldwell  will be Tameside Council’s special guest on National Libraries Day , Saturday, 4 February.

National Libraries Day celebrates the importance of reading and the many services on offer at libraries.

Anne, who is based in the North West and works for Bolton University  among others, will be at Tameside Central Library, Old Street, Ashton, from 2.30pm to 3.30pm, exploring the themes in her latest book, “Talking With the Dead”, discussing how it came to be published and where she finds inspiration for her writing.

She will also be reading from the book and suggesting other poetry that the audience might enjoy reading. To reserve a free place, contact the central library on 0161 342 2039.

And throughout National Libraries Day, anyone who joins one of Tameside’s libraries or borrows six books will be entered into a prize draw to win one of four book tokens – two at £10 and two at £5.

Cllr Ged Cooney, Tameside Council’s Executive Member for Learning and Achievement, said: “It has the makings of a great day – a highly interesting talk and the chance to win prizes.”
