Upcoming Kirklees Library events

Diane Green of Kirklees Libraries has sent me details of all the upcoming events that I thought my followers would be interested in seeing:

All the latest news is here. We’ve got a busy few months coming up as April sees the launch of our literary and cultural festival Around The Word in 80 Days running 3^rd April to 21^st June. There’s far too many events to put into this email, but if you go to http://readkirklees.wordpress.com/atw80/ you’ll see a calendar and a  map you can click on to look ahead to May and June.  Some events are not fully set up with tickets and posters but all should be complete very soon.

Meanwhile you can go to : https://tickets.kirklees.gov.uk/esro/default.asp and click on library events  to buy your tickets.

 

We also have a writing competition http://readkirklees.wordpress.com/competition/  with great prizes.
