Havelock North Library annual Publishers’ Book Expo

Readers will have the opportunity to preview a selection of hand-picked titles at this year’s Publishers’ Book Expo to be held at the Havelock North Library on Wednesday 20 November, 6.45pm.

Representatives of leading publishing houses Random House, Allen & Unwin and Hachette will present a range of upcoming releases at the event.
The goal of the event is to give readers an opportunity to hear about great new books and to meet local writers says Paula Murdoch, Hastings District Libraries’ manager.

“The titles presented are carefully chosen by publishers’ representatives from a huge range of new releases,” Paula says. “And every now and then someone throws in an oldie but goodie because it just deserves to be included.”

Each year a guest writer is invited to speak at the event.

“We are very pleased that Charity Norman will be this year’s guest author. Charity is not only a great writer but a very entertaining speaker.”

Paula points out that, helping customers choose their next great read is an important library service and the expo will be a fun and informative event.

“We invite you to come along, enjoy a glass of wine and hear about new titles from some of our leading publishers”.

Tickets to the Havelock North Library Publishers’ Expo are $5, and are on sale at the Havelock North, Hastings and Flaxmere Libraries. Doors open at 6.45pm for wine and nibbles, and the event begins at 7pm.
