At 1pm-3pm on November 3 2010 we will be having a special guest here at the library. Children's author, J.K. Rowling, writer of the Harry Potter books, will be talking to us about how her books have captured the hearts of children through many generations since her first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, made its debut in 2000. She will then be giving a speech on how that inspired her to write 6 more follow-up books, how they were published (for millions of copies of each book were sold in countries throughout the world), how the characters were created, and what inspired her to write.
This upcoming event will take place in the Children's section and all children and their parents are invited to come along. At the end of the session, J.K. Rowling will be giving out signed books for $20.00 to each child who attends and each child will be rewarded with a bookmark to go with the books.
Following the event, we will be providing an afternoon tea service in honour of our special guest, which will take place in the tea room at 2.30pm.
