Library visits

October 20, 2008 by Fred Baker

I will be speaking about, and reading from, my book, The Woman on the Mountain, at two NSW libraries next week:

Parramatta Library, at 1pm on Tuesday 28th October (02) 9806 5159, and

Tuggerah Library at 10.30 am on Wednesday 29th October (02) 4353 5666.

Admission to the 30-minute talks is free, and they are followed by question times, which are usually quite lively!
