Hello booklovers,
Half term is upon us! I hope readers, young and old, are enjoying that lovely school-holiday feeling. We see this as an appropriate time to start making a fuss about our magnificent children’s programme, on offer at Felixstowe Library over the course of the festival weekend.
Kicking off the 2019 children’s events in the library is Felixstowe.docs. Under the wonderful guidance of author (and festival favourite!) Hayely Long, the students of Felixstowe Academy have been working hard on our festival writing project, compiling a truly magnificent anthology of their own poetry and prose all about their home town. The students will showcase and perform their work at the event, providing a fitting start to the festival weekend. Over the course of the festival weekend, you will find Hayley and her merry band of creative writers in the library and along the prom performing their work to whoever is lucky enough to listen.
Next up we are delighted to welcome author and illustrator Alex Milway and his Hotel Flamingo Draw-along! If you like singing, drawing and general hilarity then this session is the one for you! Join Alex as he takes you on a rip-roaring, giggle filled journey to the Hotel Flamingo and get to know all its rather unusual guests…
For the young detectives amongst us, why not stop by for Potkin and Stubbs: Creeps, Crimes and Comedy. Author Sophie Green will be interviewed by a panel of voracious young readers who have formed our 2019 festival book group. Enter the weird world of budding journalist Lil Potkin and her pal Ned Stubbs, which will take you on the twisting and turning and sinister journey through the underworld of Peligan City. Not to be missed!
I hope this has whet your appetite! Look out for more news about our fabulous children’s programme throughout the week…
