Read Kirklees (April 2019): Regional readers, Northern writers and some cake

Read Regional: Laura Steven The exact opposite of okay LOL with Laura Steven, screenwriter, journalist and author of "The Exact Opposite of OK", the hilarious but honest look at feminism, slut shaming and friend zoning. A brilliant end of term treat to calm pre-exam nerves. A Read Regional talk. More authors coming between April and June. Suitable for 16 years+ Huddersfield Library Saturday March 30th at 2pm. Northern Writers: D R Dixon Wired Thoughts D. R. Dixon doesn’t know how he got to where he is now as actually his biggest interest was music. He thinks he must have made a wrong turn somewhere but as it is he is very happy that he did; he says it’s not until he started writing that he really found out about the power of the human imagination and that our true calling can be hidden from ourselves, never mind anyone else. The result is his book "Wired Thoughts": Stories of everyday life told in their most explicit form touching on the warmest and brightest side of human nature as well as the most darkest and sinister.  This book asks the questions, but only you have the answers Marsden Library Wednesday April 3rd 7.30pm - 8.30pm Organised by Friends of Marsden Library. Suggested donation £2. Cakes available! http://friendsofmarsdenlibrary.org.uk/event/d-r-dixon-reading-from-wired-thoughts/ Murder Mystery Evening based on an Ann Cleeves novel Bannocks and Blood This intriguing Murder Mystery Evening will be hosted by the students of the Huddersfield Business & Drama Departments, and will be based on the novel 'Bannocks and Blood' by Ann Cleeves.

Cleckheaton Library Thursday April 11th at 6.00pm Read Regional: Mark Illis Impossible on the run Mark has written extensively for tv and is delighted to be visiting Dewsbury to talk about his new teenage novel "Impossible on the run" where the charcaters mutate in scary ways and discover weird happenings in their small town.

Our exhibition will also highlight  and explore some of the extraordinary examples of documents and writing to be found in Kirklees. There will be a programme of activities and talks to accompany the exhibition. You will be able to visit the exhibition at Huddersfield, Cleckheaton, Dewsbury and Batley.
