Over 30 people attended a wonderful Writers at Waterford Libraries event in Central Library on Saturday 28th February, featuring award-winning author Edel Coffey in conversation for Ireland Reads Day.
Edel spoke about her writing journey and discussed her latest novel, In Glass Houses, along with her bestselling titles Breaking Point and In Her Place. The audience enjoyed an engaging and insightful afternoon celebrating reading, writing and the power of storytelling and left with personally autographed books purchased from the Book Centre who were on site on the day.
Ireland Reads is a national campaign encouraging everyone to “Get lost in a good book” throughout February, highlighting the many benefits of reading for wellbeing and enjoyment. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special event!
