Book Festival


Last week was the Taranaki Children's Book Festival which involved three library services, 9 authors and illustrators, 70 librarians and a swag of schools. This is our 2nd festival and by all reports it was at least as good as last year. As well as touring the schools the visitors got to mix and mingle with local librarians and we also managed to get some quite good coverage in the press, much nicer seeing a good news story for a change. Unfortunately I missed out on the finale on Saturday (see next post) which was held out at the Stratford Pioneer Village no doublt I'll hear all about it tomorrow.
