Stories, poetry and coffee

Outreach activities in Seven Kings together with Redbridge Library Services continue apace.

The Mobile Library continues to establish its newest stop on St John's Road each Friday morning from 11.15 am - 12.15 pm.

The next outreach event is a Children's Storytelling session at St John's Seven Kings on Wednesday 5th August at 2.00pm. In September the next Library Services coffee morning will be held, also at St John's, on Friday 25th September.

The Book group at St Johns met on the 16th July to talk about Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed this and to have a favorite passage.

The group decided that the next book they will read is the novel The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. The Amazon description is as follows: "This is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959".

The group will meet to discuss this book on Thursday 8th October 2009 in the Upper Room at St John's.

Redbridge Library Services are currently running a poetry competition for adults, 16 and over. The theme is: 'What London means to You!' Poems must not exceed 40 lines (not including title) and must be submitted in the body of an email to poetrycompetition@redbridge.gov.uk. Entry is restricted to Redbridge residents or people working or attending education in Redbridge.
