Our first event for NZ Book Month is on tonight at 7pm at Whangaparaoa Library. The Shakespear Open Sanctuary Society are having an Information Evening where they will show a DVD documenting the predator fence project on Great Barrier Island. They are planning a similar fence for Shakespear Park to ensure the safety of our own beautiful native birds. Artwork by Jeff Thomson will be on show. Jeff is donating part of the proceeds from each sale to the Shakespear Open Sanctuary Project. A gold coin donation to SOSSI would be appreciated.
This event is in celebration of "The 10pm question" by Kate De Goldi. A great read for both young adults and adults it was NZ Post Book of the Year 2009 and Readers Choice in the Montana New Zealand Book Awards 2009. It's about Frankie, an intense young man with a head full of questions. He’s fascinated by birds and spends a lot of time both studying them and drawing make-believe birds of fabulous colours and amazing plumage.
