First off - here's our official group photo. We're missing several people who are either on study leave or had an athletics meeting (grr...) but this is the bulk of us.
We also announced two pieces of very exciting news.
On 25th May we'll be welcoming Marcus Sedgwick to the library! He's coming to join us for lunch and talk to us (or if the pattern holds, be talked at...) about his books and his work. Marcus has some hard-core fans here, and this is a fantastic opportunity to discuss the issues raised in White Crow and hopefully get answers to all the questions that they've been dying to ask. Hopefully we'll also get the chance to ask about life as a writer, get some tips on reviewing for our Guardian Young Readers and quiz him about his next book, the eagerly anticipated Midwinterblood.
There'll be no early lunch passes for this one - you'll need to bring a packed lunch and a drink with you. Rumour has it that he's fond of plain chocolate digestives. Bring sandwiches and cake! It's library picnic time.
And on the 22nd June we'll be joining Patrick Ness for a Twitter chat! I’m sure that Will everyone has many questions and things they’d like to discuss about the Chaos Walking trilogy and that Will will lead the discussion in a magnificent display of fan-boy geekiness everyone will have lots to say!
How lucky are we?!
