The Eastern Regional Library Show 19th October 2011

Library staff members Lyn Baines, Jessica Bonner and Pia Butcher run a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next week for a great show.

On Wednesday's show 

Next week is History Week & there are a number of talks on local history happening around ERL.

Lyn focussed on history with some new books just arrived on the shelves. Athelstan by Sarah Foot is about an Anglo-Saxon king whose achievements have been overshadowed by his famous grandfather, Alfred the Great. Matilda by Tracy Borman is the biography of Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror. Young Henry by Robert Hutchinson tells the story of Henry VIII's childhood & his first glorious years as King before he became best known for executing his wives. A N Wilson's The Elizabethans is a survey of life & society in the reign of Elizabeth I.

History Week events range from Murder & Death in Ringwood with Russ Haines to Tall Tales of the Yarra Valley with Ernest Buckmaster. All the details are on our website at www.yourlibrary.com.au - just click on Calendar of Events on the right.
