Award winning author comes to Heywood Library

John Hart

A New York Times best selling Author, John Hart, will be visiting Heywood Library on Wednesday 22 April to talk about his new book, “The Last Child”, to residents.

John Hart is the award winning Author of two international bestsellers “King of Lies” and “Down River” which featured in last years “Richard and Judy’s” Bookclub.

His visit to Heywood is one of only a handful of appearances outside of London whilst he is in the UK promoting his new book.

The library in Heywood town centre has recently benefited from an extensive refurbishment and now boasts 12 computers with free high speed internet access, a new children’s area, community meeting room and a display case of local history.

Pamela Taylor-Bramwell, Reader Development Librarian at Rochdale Borough Council said she was delighted that they had an award winning author visiting Heywood: “We are always eager to get authors to visit the library and talk to residents about their books. Any budding writers, avid readers or anyone else who is interested, pop along and meet John.”
