We had a great evening last night with Catherine Awoyode, who presented her book "Alora: A Prophecy". She told us how she published a book with only 13 years old. Also, through a quiz and games, we knew more about how she created the characters of her book and the deep meaning of the novel. Thanks, Catherine for bringing more love for libraries and books and your fantastic presentation!

Remember Kate Millar's Phenomenal Women's Poetry workshop is happening tomorrow. There are still spaces available!

Today is International Women's day and we wanted to remind you about about events next week. We will celebrate women and keep on the fight, with Catherine Awoyode, and the presentation of her book "Alora: The Prophecy" and Kate Millar's Phenomenal Women's Poetry.
Please, do not miss it!

Next week, just after International Women's Day we are hosting two events to celebrate women. Do not miss it!

This week is International Women's Day and next Wednesday we have the pleasure to host this poetry Workshop. Kate Miller will accompany us in a journey towards writing and Phenomenal Women. Please, book your space!
