Library Lovers’ Day celebrations planned

21 January 2015 Books+Publishing

Libraries around Australia will be participating in Library Lovers’ Day celebrations on Saturday 14 February.

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), which runs the initiative, offers a list of suggestions for libraries to get involved, including author talks, ‘blind date with a book’ lucky dips, writing workshops and romance-related book displays.

Among the events being held this year is Woollahra Libraries’ Great Romance Debate, where panellists will discuss the topic: romance readers love a happy ending, but what happens when authors fail to deliver? The debate features: romance blogger Kat Mayo, authors Kate Forsyth and Shannon Curtis, library scholar Vassiliki Veros, romance scholar Jodi McAlister and comedian Madeleine Culp.
