Come and meet Simon Pridham, author of Freaked Out: The Bewildered Teacher’s Guide to Digital Learning

We’re freaking out with excitement (see what we did there?) that Simon Pridham will be visiting Townhill Library tomorrow (Thursday 25^th September) as part of the launch of his new book, Freaked Out: The BewilderedTeacher’s Guide to Digital Learning. Simon will be speaking to education students at UWTSD Swansea and Carmarthen campuses all day, so we’re delighted that he’ll be finding time to pop into the library too.

Simon will be in Swansea speaking at student lectures in the morning and will be available in the library between sessions. Please pop in to see him if you have any questions for him, or would just like a chat! He will be around at approximately the following times:-

9-9.45am

10-10.30am

11.30am-12.30pm

 

Copies of the book will be on sale for the special price of £15 (RRP £20), so well worth calling in! In the meantime, you can follow Simon on Twitter - @Simonpridham123 – to see what else he’s up to.

Successful author visit!

SMU students and staff were delighted to welcome Swansea-born author, Joe Dunthorne, to our Townhill Library last Tuesday afternoon.

Joe spent a wonderful hour with us, talking about his work as well as reading extracts from his novels 'Submarine' and 'Wild Abandon,' and some of his poetry. Afterwards, he answered questions and signed copies of his novels.

The event had been organised as part of the South West and Mid Wales Regional Library Partnership 'Reading Roadshow' campaign, to promote books and inspire reading.

SMU students and staff - come and meet author Joe Dunthorne!

Joe Dunthorne, author of the novel 'Submarine' (set in Swansea and released as a film earlier this year) will be coming to our Townhill Library on Tuesday 8th November as part of the CyMAL Reading Roadshow campaign taking place in south and mid Wales libraries this autumn.

So...if you would like to meet Joe, and listen to him talk about and read from some of his work, do come along to the Townhill Library that afternoon at 2.00pm. In the meantime as a taster, you can borrow 'Submarine' or his latest novel 'Wild Abandon' from the Townhill Library, or watch 'Submarine' on film, available from the Griffith Library at Dynevor.

So make a note in your diaries ready for the 8th November - we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible!
