Masterton Library is proud to be a part of the Yarns in Barns Festival of Reading which runs from the 20th to 30th of May. This year the festival features sessions from such notable writers and entertainers as Charlotte Grimshaw, Paula Morris, Fergus Barrowman, Dame Fiona Kidman, Bill Manhire, Keith Stewart, Alexa Johnston, Nick Bollinger, Te Radar (aka Andrew Lumsden), Matt Elliott, Jill Marshall, Felicity Price, John Perriam and Theresa Gattung.
The Library will be playing host to a talk by Alexa Johnston author of the best-selling Ladies, A Plate and the follow up A Second Helping. Alexa will be talking about the traditional pleasures of food preperation on the 25th of May at 2:00 pm. This session will also double as part of our regular Seniors Celebrate programme.
Another highlight for us will be the launch on Wednesday the 26th of March of the Wairarapa Archive's latest book Two Men of Mana and Other Stories: a Celebration of Wairarapa's Early Days. Author and archivist Gareth Winter will entertain with stories from the region's past at the launch which will be held at St Mark's Church Hall, High Street, Carterton.
