Christchurch City Council Media Release 25 May 2000

Books and Beyond

Canterbury Public Library has organised a series of events with a difference for this year’s Books & Beyond Festival.

Running from Wednesday 31 May – Monday 5 June, the library’s ‘Beyond’ programme captures the spirit of the festival and focuses on some slightly offbeat topics.

"There is something for everyone," says Sasha Bowers the library's Promotions & Publications Co-ordinator. "We like to encourage people to take a different look at books and libraries – they're more than words on a page and books on shelves."

Other highlights include author Marlene Bennetts talking about self-publishing at New Brighton Library, bedtime stories with a dream theme, an illustrating workshop with children’s illustrator Jenny Cooper, and the chance to chat online with internet novelist Ged Maybury about publishing on the world wide web.

Event details are available from all libraries.
