Redland libraries are offering a trio of free literary treats next week.
Redland City Council spokesman for Arts, Culture and Innovation Paul Bishop said the three events were part of council’s busy Authors in Action program and highlighted the
Redlands’ status as a vibrant regional cultural centre.
“On October 15, residents can hear inspirational best-selling author Susan Duncan talk about her writing career and latest book Gone Fishing – the sequel to The Briny Café,” Cr Bishop said.
