Check out our web page for information on what's happening in Lewisham this April.

Ben Aaronovitch comes to Manor House Library on the 27th April for an author visit. Plus there's a talk on restoring London's rivers, lots of reading groups and chances to discuss the novel, and 'Screen and Scream!' where you can explore the paranormal in our oldest library.

The book tells the tale of Peter Grant, a probationer in the Metropolitan Police who is brought to the attention of Inspector Nightingale – the last wizard in England. Peter becomes the first trainee wizard in 50 years, working to find nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce between the warring god and goddess of the Thames and digging up graves in Covent Garden. The spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and it falls on Peter to bring order out of chaos – or die trying.

Copies of the book will be available in libraries. Don't forget to get yours
