> Hi Fiona, John
...
> Newham library service will be launching its new collection of Somali
books
> at Stratford library on Saturday, 20th August. This collection includes
> over 80 titles covering a wide range of topics for both adults and
children.
> Mohammed Hassan from Scansom publishers will be presenting the books and
> talking about Somali literature in the diaspora. Six leading Somali
authors
> will also be talking about their work and the celebrated Somali singer,
> Sahra Ahmed, will be performing live.
>
> As Scansom publishers are based in Sweden, we thought this might be a good
> opportunity for interested library authorities, that cater for Somali
> communities and don't already know of Scansom, to meet with the publishers
> to find out more about the Somali literature that is currently available.
> Scansom was founded in 1992 and is the leading publisher in Somali
materials
> with over 100 titles on offer.
>
> The event will run from 6-9pm on Saturday, 20th August at Stratford
library.
> As Somali community organisations have been invited, it is likely that
most
> of the event will be in Somali. However interested library authorities
are
> welcome to attend earlier, from 5pm, to meet with the publishers and view
> the stock.
>
> If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Sarah Henderson
