The Eastern Regional Library Show - Jan 2 2008

Library staff members Lesley Conway and Pia Butcher run a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.

On today's show with Lesley

It's hot, hot, hot! And if you can't mow the lawn or wash the car, you might as well read a book, watch a great dvd, or just kick back and listen to some music with your eyes closed and a cold drink to hand. If you feel you have nothing inspiring at home, several of our branches are having Book Chat and New Books sessions over the next couple of weeks. Rowville is running a New Book Morning on Friday the 11th of January at 10am and a Book Chat on Monday 7th of January at 2pm. Mooroolbark is having a Book Chat on Thursday the 10th at 10am, and Knox is holding a New Books Morning on Wednesday the 9th at 10am. In addition, Knox will host a Book Sale on Wednesday the 16th from 10am with lots of bargains and temptations.

I am looking forward to talking with Lyn Baines next week about the books she has been reading during her holiday. She promises to keep her head buried, and have lots to recommend to us. In the meantime I pulled two new biographies off the shelf which are both fascinating. A.A.Milne : his life by Ann Thwaite is very readable, and awash with quotes and references to many other notable English writers such as Robert Graves and P.G.Wodehouse. I discovered that along with being the creator of the beloved Winne-the-Pooh, Milne was also an accomplished mystery writer.

Hillary Clinton : Her Way : the biography is a very different, very contemporary look at a politician with a better than average chance of becoming the first female American President. Written by two very experienced journalists from the New York Times, this is an engrossing read.

Music played today on the show was from Carly Simon's album Into white
