Friends of the Library event



Tonight the "Friends" hosted a very informative and entertaining talk from Group Capt. C.T. Moore, secretary of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, on "The Open Golf at Hoylake - one year on". We learned a lot about the sheer determination and effort involved to make the Open such a huge success - plus lots of fascinating insider information on the problems faced by the organisers. Who would have thought that someone would have to be trained to handle natterjack toads and that special care was taken to avoid disturbing the nesting habits of the resident skylarks?

Membership of the "Friends of Hoylake & West Kirby Libraries" costs £3 per year for an individual and £5 per year for two people living at the same address and entitles subscribers to discounted entrance to events and regular newsletters. If you would like to join, membership forms are available at both Hoylake and West Kirby Libraries.

Our next events will be in September.Watch the noticeboard for details.

Katie Fforde at West Kirby Library!



On June 15th the author Katie Fforde came to the library to talk about her work. Katie is the author of books such as "Living Dangerously", "Flora's Lot", "Paradise Fields" and "Practically Perfect" to name but a few! Her latest title is "Going Dutch" and Katie read an excerpt from this which was enthusiastically received.



Her audience were full of questions for Katie which she answered with great humour and candour. After the talk she happily signed copies of her books (on sale courtesy of Linghams Booksellers of West Kirby) and posed for photographs.
