Chichester Creative Network’s literature fans will probably be aware that our local library has recently closed for three weeks to undergo some refurbishments, including the installation of a self-service unit to make borrowing books even easier.
To celebrate the re-opening Chichester Library has planned a fantastic line-up of literary events for November, including talks with crime-writer Sophie Hannah and local history-writer Stella Rutter. Here’s a bit more info about the upcoming events:
Stella Rutter – ‘Who Goes Where’?
Thursday 10th November, 7.30pm (Military History Month)
Local resident Stella Rutter discusses her book Who Goes Where, in which the author reveals in detail the true account of an event which took place before the invasion of Normandy on D-Day
Early in World War II Stella Rutter was employed on Whale Island in the Drawing Office from which she was seconded to Supermarine to design of the Spitfire.
An Evening with Allan Mallinson
Tuesday 15th November, 7.30pm (Military History Month)
