What Our Booksellers are Reading

Storytime is back after its Christmas break! Already we’ve read about the first hippo on the moon, Winnie the Witch’s bad robot and more, plus we’ve made tiger and robot masks and some very strange plates of food (collage, not real food, sadly…).

We’re looking forward to welcoming two special guest authors who are coming to read their stories at Dulwich Books this month. Don’t miss Alex English (Yuck! Said the Yak) on Saturday 24th January and Tracy Gunaratnam (Preposterous Rhinoceros) on Saturday 31st January. We recommend you book in advance for these special author sessions to be sure of your place. We’ll be announcing more special author Storytime events very soon.

All Storytime sessions are free and suitable for ages 7 and under. You don’t need to book in advance for our regular storytime sessions every Thursday and Saturday at 11am, just pop along when you’re in the mood for stories old and new plus some sticking and colouring fun.

Last year The Poetry Book Society released their once-in-a-decade list of 20 Next Generation Poets who are expected to “dominate the poetry landscape of the coming decade.” In the list there are four superb poets published by Carcanet Press: Jane Yeh, Rebecca Goss, Tara Bergin and Kei Miller - Winner of the 2014 Forward Prize for Best Collection.

We are delighted to partner with Carcanet Press and Southwark Libraries to bring you this event at Dulwich Library on Tuesday 10th Feburary at 7.30pm.

The event is free but it is essential you book a place if you wish to attend. Please email southwark.libraries@southwark.gov.uk to reserve your space now!
