Author events at Hawkesbury Library


Tuesday 15 November 6.30pm – 8.30pm
Shafeen Mustaq introduces her book Financial Empowering of Women in Bangladesh through Microcredit.
Microcredit is the extension of very small loans (microloans) to those in poverty designed to spur entrepreneurship. This book outlines how microcredit has provided village women in Bangladesh the opportunity to gain communication and interpersonal skills, independence and a position of authority within the family environment. It has motivated them to grow and develop skills which allow them to proceed onto skilled labour and open up new avenues of opportunity.
Where: Tebbutt Room, Hawkesbury Central Library, Free, All welcome
Bookings essential: Phone 4560 4460






Wednesday 30 November 6pm
Jason Foster & Peter Seymour present Seven Bones, one of the most bizarre murder investigations in Australia's history. Two wives die in suspicious circumstances: arriving on the scene, Detective Peter Seymour realised he was dealing with the world's unluckiest husband or a serial wife killer.

National Year of Reading

Hi everyone,
I thought you may be interested in looking at this information about the
National Year of Reading 2012.
A collection is being created which, read together, describe the Australian experience. Check out this website to see which books have been included for the different states.
You can vote for your favourites from November 1.
You should find some good ideas for reading here too.

The National Year of Reading will be launched on February 14th 2012, so look out for events planned here at our library.

Happy reading,
Marie
