Lunch with Dr Norman Swan

By Jane Rees

The Friends of the Wollongong Libraries will welcome Dr Norman Swan to speak at a Literary Luncheon held on September 7th at Villa D’Oro in Flinders Street, Wollongong.

Acting President of the Friends group, Anne Middleton, said: “We are thrilled that Dr Swan has accepted our invitation to speak.”

Dr Swan is a well-known medically qualified journalist whose broadcast career has spanned over 30 years.

He currently hosts Radio National’s The Health Report and co-hosts the ABC’s Coronacast, which includes explanations of medical research, interviews of medical scientists and advice for people to help them manage the threat of Covid-19.

Dr Swan’s expert commentary has been sought by Four Corners, the 7.30 Report and others. Many Australians feel indebted to him for this work which has provided sensible and reasoned commentary during one of the most difficult times in the country’s history.

Dr Swan recently published two books – So You Want to Live Younger Longer? and So You Think You Know What’s Good for You? – and copies of these will be available at the luncheon and through Wollongong Libraries.

Bookings for the September 7th luncheon can be made online via Eventbrite from 5th August.
