Speaker: Alan Stevens, Essex County Libraries
The annual Essex Book Festival is a magnet for both new and best-selling
authors - often with an unexpected Essex link. The event is a huge draw
for readers, bookshops and media organisations in the region. Not only
does it cover mainstream writing but reaches out to minority and
disabled groups, as well as those in prisons and sheltered housing. The
festival, which is a partnership between district councils, voluntary
groups and the media, is managed by the County Library Service for which
it provides excellent PR (and, for this, it won a Cilip/Library
Association award).
Alan will describe the Festival's origins and discuss how, through its
partnerships, it promotes library services.
Alan Stevens has been with Essex County Council Libraries since 1988,
and has worked on the Essex Book Festival from its early stages. He has
been one of the Service Development Officers for Reader Development
since May 2004.
CILIP in London evening meetings are free and open to all with a
professional interest in the topic. Refreshments will be available
afterwards. As space is limited, please let us know if you are coming.
It would be helpful to tell us how you found out about the event.
