Sevenoaks Library Events in June

Are starling stealing your strawberries and pigeons pecking at your peas? If so, come along on Saturday 6th June between 10am and 12pm, as we're hosting a craft session for children where they can make their own bird scarer from recycled materials. We've been hoarding our bottle tops and yogurt pots for this free craft session that that those budding veg growers can keep their harvests safe!! It's a drop-in session, so pop along any time and get creative!!

 

At our branch library in Swanley, the famous author Anne Perry is coming along to talk about her books. She'll be giving a talk on Wednesday 10th June at 7.30pm. Perry is at the top of her game with scores of crime books to her name, so if you fancy a sneak peek into how her detectives solve their mysteries, do go along. Tickets are available from Swanley library at £3.00.

 

16th June at 2pm sees A L Kennedy coming to talk about her latest book 'Day' which won the Costa Book Prize in 2008. Kennedy herself describes the book in this fashion 'bits of it are probably quite good, although some people have trouble with the first 50 pages or so' but most people I know who have read it have found it so rewarding. The story follows Alfie Day who was a tail gunner during World War II, but it is so much more than a war story. To go alongside her writing career, Kennedy also does stints as a stand-up comedian, so we can guarantee she'll put on a good show. We have tickets available now at a cost of £4.00.

 

Monty Parkin, local author and artist, is displaying some of his work in the gallery between the dates of 18th and 27th June. His drawings and paintings will be on display, so when you pop in, please take a moment to have a peek at his work, it's truly beautiful.

 

As part of the Sevenoaks Summer Festival, Colin Pinney is giving a talk at Kaleidoscope on Samuel Pepys entitled 'Pepys and the Playhouse' which looks at Pepys the Restoration playgoer in the age of plague, fire and Nell Gwyn. Tickets for this event are £6.00 but are ONLY available from the Sevenoaks Tourist Information Centre (which is attached to our building).

 

Stella Duffy is coming to give a talk on 25th June at 7pm. her latest book 'The room of lost things' has received great reviews for its compassionate, lyrical and deeply affective exploration of the characters in a South London community centred around a dry cleaners. As well as writing, Stella acts and directs theatre, so I'm sure she'll put on a great performance for us. Tickets are available at £4.00.

 

And lastly, a sneaky one at the start of July!! We have Jennifer Jackson, our KCC Finds Officer bringing a selection of recent archaeological finds from the local area. This will be a hands-on session so it'll be more than just show and tell!! So, make a date for 2nd July at 7pm. Tickets are £3.00.

 

 

I'm hoping to have got you thinking about attending some, if not all, of our events, so please feel free to phone the library on 01732 453118 or email me if you'd like to book some tickets. Remember, you can always reserve seats and then pay on the night.
