World Book Night 2011

The Learning Resource Centre and the English Department recently held an event to celebrate World Book Night where they gave away copies of Carol Ann Duffy's, The World's Wife.

A number of English students were invited to the event along with a guest of their choice and the LRC was transformed for the venue.

The event included an introductory talk by local author Victoria Howard who offered an insight into the world of publishing and gave some useful tips on how to write an enjoyable read.

The evening also included a number of English students giving readings of Carol Ann Duffy's poetry. These were very entertaining, not only because of the hilarity of some of the poems, coupled with the occasional outburst of bad language amongst the lines, but the sheer emotion and dramatic effect from the students.

This relaxed, informal event was truly inspiring and really highlighted some of the talent and enthusiasm we have here at TRC.
