AUTHORS of ‘must-read’ titles for the upcoming year will be visiting North Yorkshire libraries this spring for Read Regional 2020.
The campaign will see ten Northern authors take part in 70 events at libraries and festivals throughout the North of England.
The ten chosen titles are made up of children’s, fiction, memoir and poetry and the first event will feature Oliver Harris, author of A Shadow Intelligence, at Easingwold library on March 5 at 7pm.
County Councillor Greg White, executive member for libraries, said: “Read Regional is a brilliant campaign which is always well-supported in libraries across North Yorkshire.
“The North is bursting with talent so there is something for everyone.
"I would encourage everybody to visit their local library, borrow the must-read titles and meet some very talented authors.”
Claire Malcolm, of New Writing North, added: “If you don’t usually attend author events, why not try one for the first time in your local library – you’ll find a warm welcome and the chance to chat to writers in a relaxed setting.
"If you’re already a regular attender, Read Regional is a great way to discover new books to discuss with other readers and to make the most of the precious resource that is your local public library.”
