A celebration of writers, readers, ideas and all things literature.

Palmerston North City Library is excited to bring you the Writers and Readers Winter Series.

The series is a fantastic showcase of amazing talent from Manawatū, and the best and brightest from throughout Aotearoa.

It promises to deliver a smorgasbord of activities that will spark creativity and passion for literature.

Lovers of literature will be able to enjoy free events featuring a star-studded writers line-up.

Guests include the award-winning Cynric Temple-Camp, Minnie Baragwanath, Sue McCauley and Saige England.

The Manawatu is also home to amazingly talented local writers and creatives, and it is great to be able to celebrate their talent, hear more about their latest work and glean ideas and inspiration for emerging writers.

We gather diverse and exciting local writers including Carole Brungar, Miriam Sharland and Bing Turkby.

The series showcases the library as a hub of creativity, delivering high quality, free programmes for and with the community.

Some sessions have limited numbers so check the website for registration details.
