Saving Darfur by Rob Crilly

A haunting and brutally honest account of international failure and African suffering. Lucid, engaging and written with love for the entire continent of Africa. Fergal Keane, BBC News
Poetry Night
Venue: The Gutter Bookshop
Date: Thursday 18th Feb - 6pm until 7.15pm
If you enjoy reading, listening to, or writing your own poetry come along to our second Poetry Night! We’ll be asking for volunteers to read some poetry (either their own or by their favourite poet) but if you just want to listen that’s fine too! We’re also hoping that some published poets will join us to discuss their craft. This event is free and open to all.
The Badness of Ballydog by Garrett Carr
Venue: The Gutter Bookshop
Date: Thursday 25th Feb – 10.30am until 11.30am
”Something is coming …something big. May knows it, but no one will listen to her. She is an outcast due to her odd ways and freakish ability with animals. Andrew knows it, but he has his position as gang leader to maintain. Ewan knows it, but what can he do? The sea creature is the biggest living thing on the face of the earth. And it won’t stop until it has destroyed Ballydog.” This is the first book of a trilogy from an exciting new Irish children’s writer. ”This is a School Event and not open to the Public”’, however if you would like a signed copy of the book please let us know and we will arrange it.
