By Jane Pretty, president of the Friends of Wollongong City Libraries
The Friends of Wollongong City Libraries welcome you to another year of literary events.
We are a volunteer organisation that runs activities while raising money for our local libraries. You can become a member for just $15 or $12 concession. This membership enables you to attend our events at a discounted rate throughout the year, where we host a variety of interesting author talks and great food.
We hope you can join us in February for our first event for 2024. Lyn Hughes is a local author who lives in Austinmer and she will introduce us to her historical novel, Mr Carver’s Whale.
Set in the late 19th century, Mr Carver’s Whale takes us on a journey from the tiny island of Pico in the Azores, to Newfoundland and, finally, to Eden on the New South Wales South Coast. While the book is about the history of whaling, it has a contemporary feel and explores family and relationships. It is a book that required many years of research, but is obviously a labour of love.
The event will be held on Thursday, 22nd February at 12pm in the function room on Level 9 of the Wollongong City Council building. Tickets cost $30 for members and $35 for non-members, and can be purchased from select libraries or online at Eventbrite.
