CILIP and SLA Yorkshire & Humberside double-trouble AGM, talk and library tour

Saturday 9th June 

Please join the Yorkshire & Humberside branches of CILIP and the School Library Association for a joint event. It will include a talk by author and costume historian Lucy Adlington on female voices in historical fiction about the early 20th century, afternoon tea and cakes, and a tour of the J.B. Priestley Library at the University of Bradford (take an advance peek with their 360° tour). The AGMs will be cunningly sandwiched between the more exciting elements of the afternoon.

Note: You do not have to be a member of CILIP or the SLA to attend this event - it is open and free to anybody interested, though only members of these bodies may vote at their respective AGMs.
