Speaker: Tom Palmer
Tom will talk about his work in progress, Long Overdue, a travelogue of the
UK libraries, where he meets library users and workers. From a mobile that
visits farms close to the West coast of Ireland to Lowestoft's flat land and
rising issues, Tom has travelled the UK to find out if libraries are
changing people's lives like they changed his.
Tom Palmer has worked for libraries - beginning in Bradford - for ten years.
He is currently employed by the Reading Agency and the National Literacy
Trust on the Reading Partners project and the Premier League Reading Stars
scheme respectively. Tom is the author of several books. His next - a 10+
football thriller - is called The Football Detective and will be published
in May 2008 by Puffin.
CILIP in London evening meetings are free and open to all with a
