Local Readers and Authors Day 2025

Local Readers and Authors Day gives you an opportunity to hang out with local readers and authors, and talk about books!

Over the course of the afternoon, we’re hosting a romance writers panel, the launch of Riley Chance’s audiobook, and the launch of the library’s Versions Tuaono anthology.

In between these key activities, we’ll provide you with a great space to mix and mingle with other writers and readers. We’ve asked Laura Evans to come along and play some chill music to create a nice, relaxed vibe.

The timeline looks like this:

  • 2.30pm – Romance Panel. Carole Brungar, AJ Lancaster, Sean Monaghan. Facilitator: GB Ralph
  • 3.40pm – Mix and mingle with writers and readers. Music from Laura Evans
  • 4.00pm – Riley Chance – Audiobook Launch
  • 4.40pm – Snacks, signings, minglings.
  • 5.00pm – Versions Tuaono launch
