Hello

How are you today?

We've been very busy this morning, rebuilding the library after last night's evening with performance poet and comedian John Hegley.

John kept the audience thoroughly entertained, reading poems from his books (and from other people's that he'd collected up off the library shelves). During the interval the audience was made to sing (or rather compose) for their supper (or rather wine and nibbles) as they were set the task of writing some North Lincolnshire themed poetry, that John then read out - and judged - during the second-half.

The evening concluded with some mandolin-accompanied songs, the final one of which included a rousing chorus of Ging Gang Goolie by the audience.

It was an evening that appeared to be enjoyed by all.  And if you want to see some photos of last night then visit our photo album (link on the left).

Don't forget that tickets are still available for our evening with thriller-writer Peter Grimsdale, in Brigg on 28th November.  As well as talking about his debut novel you can also find out about his career in television, working on shows such as Big Brother.  Contact either the Central Library or Brigg Library to get your tickets.

Until next time, have a great weekend.
