Author Twinning
To celebrate the National Year of Reading, the Reading Agency has brought together authors and library authorities under a twinning scheme. Ann says "My twinned authority is Newcastle. This is great because it's so close to home - not every writer has been so lucky. It's also fantastic to be involved with Newcastle at such an exciting time. Next summer will see the opening of the new central library and I can't wait to be a part of that. So come and me meet at the various events planned across the city over the next few months."
