Upcoming Author Talks

July 12, 2018 by Maggi Barnard

The Forbes Library has two author talks coming up.

The first talk focuses on mental health when author, Kim Hodges visits the library on Monday, 30th July at 2pm.

Kim will give an insightful and emotional talk into her experiences with depression, including hospitalisations, visits to clinics, medication changes, effects on family, coping strategies and a detailed description of what depression feels like.

The next one is Jenny Old talking about her book ‘Back of Beyond’. Jenny will talk about her remarkable life on Friday, 3rd August at 2pm.

Surviving fires, floods, Cyclone Ted and the 1970’s beef crash, this is one woman’s remarkable story of love, adventure, disasters and wonderful times in the Gulf Country.

When 22-year-old Jenny Old followed her heart to the vastness of the Gulf of Carpentaria, she had no idea of the primitive conditions she’d find herself in.

To book your seat, call the library on 6852 1463. A free community event.
