What's going on?

Over the last few days, I have been in search of events, bookgroups and what Libraries have to offer within the area.


I have found that there's alot going on for kids, which is great! Well, being the six weeks holidays and all, they need something productive to be doing. Unfortunately, I don't have any children, or know of any that I can take to some of the things they have going on. I would just want to see what they do and how it all goes.


Barking Library seems to have the most going on. Check out this link for the list of events that are coming up over the next few months http://www.barking-dagenham.gov.uk/2-news-events/news-events-menu.cfm?event=Libraries%20And%20Literacy

I have also found that there will be an illustrated talk and book signing of "Romford Outrage" by Linda Rhodes at Rectory Library in Dagenham. I'll leave all the details of the event at the end of this post.

I have never been to Barking Library (It's sad, but true), so it would be good to actually go in and speak to a few people. See if there are any upcoming talks or book signings that haven't been advertised on the council website. I shall do this on the morrow, and I will report back on my adventures of Barking Library.
