The Lowdham Lecture 2012
Thursday 20th September 7.30pm – 9pm
At St Mary’s Church, Church Lane, Lowdham, Notts
ALAN GIBBONS on LIBRARIES, EDUCATION AND LITERACY
The Lowdham Lecture will be an annual autumn event with a
high profile speaker addressing topical issues. The inaugural lecture will be delivered
by the award winning author, Alan Gibbons. Alan is a very popular international
speaker, organiser of the Campaign for the Book and a member of the Speak Up
For Libraries Coalition. The future of literacy, and even the book itself, is
under threat in our modern world – Alan Gibbons’ varied career as a teacher, a
successful children’s author, and a passionate supporter of libraries, gives
him a powerful campaigning voice – this talk will perhaps be of particular
interest to teachers, parent and librarians, but of course to all of us who
care about the importance of the written word and its place in our society.
