Morris Gleitzman Visit

We were lucky enough to have the famous children's author Morris Gleitzman at the library today, giving a talk to about 300 children from local schools. Morris has written over 30 books, and gave an inspirational and very funny talk to a very appreciative audience. It was a great opportunity for local kids to meet one of their favourite authors. They really enjoyed finding out about Morris and the writing process.
