Soraya Nicholas and Stacy Gregg visiting Halswell School

In Week 4 we are going to have two very special authors visiting Halswell School.  The first author is Soraya Nicholas, the author of the new Starlight Stables series.  If you love horse and pony stories this is a great new series to try.  We will have them in the library very soon.

Soraya is visiting us on Tuesday 1 November from 9:30am-12:00pm

The second author who is visiting us is Stacy Gregg, the author of Princess and the Foal, The Girl Who Rode the Wind, and her latest book, The Diamond Horse.  Stacy is visiting us on her tour of New Zealand to celebrate her 21st book.  You can borrow Stacy's books from the library, including her new book.

Stacy is visiting us on Thursday 3 November at 10:00am

Jorja meets Andy Griffiths

Jorja was the winner of an awesome Andy Griffiths competition run by Christchurch City Libraries.  To enter you had to email the one question that you would ask Andy Griffiths if you got the chance to meet him.  Jorja was chosen as the winner and got the chance to have afternoon tea with Andy on Friday afternoon and go to his sold out show on Saturday morning.  Mr McCallum was a lucky librarian because he got to go to afternoon tea and meet Andy Griffiths too!

We took a couple of Halswell School Library copies of Andy's books to get signed, which are now extra special.  Next time you borrow an Andy Griffiths book from our library check to see if it has been drawn in by Andy Griffiths.
