On the 9th May Richmond Library was very fortunate to have award winning UK young adult author, Meg Rosoff, speak to a crowd of about 38 people. We had fantastic turnout of approximately 20 teens from local colleges and intermediates from the Tasman and Nelson district attend. Mary Butler from Motueka Library and Anne Scaife from Motueka High School Library brought over a large group from Motueka High School.
Lucy Brunwin, Children’s and Young Adults Librarian, introduced Meg to the group. Meg spoke for about 45 minutes about her life, writing and answered some tricky questions at the end. One lucky young lady took away an autographed copy of Meg’s first young adult novel ‘How I live now’ as a spot prize.

Thoughtful questions from Motueka High School students

Thanks to the Richmond staff for organising this wonderful opportunity to hear such a successful international author speak. Meg was just fantastic and the Motueka students really enjoyed themselves.
