Starting on November 13 the Rastrick Library Readers’ Group are inviting people to meet Peter Robinson, author of the Inspector Banks crime novels.

Tickets are £5 and £3 for concessions and available from the library.

David Nortcliffe presents a history walk in the library environs on Saturday November 17 costing £3.

At 1.30pm a short talk about the history of the library and area will be given before a walk looking at the story of Rastrick over seven centuries. The walk finishes at 4.15pm back at the library with refreshments.

A memorabilia roadshow will take place between 10.30am and 12.30pm on Monday November 19.

People can drop in to share their memories of school, work and family life in Rastrick. Old photographs and newspaper cuttings can be brought where a team of local experts will help identify and give information if possible.

Between 5.30pm and 7.30pm a family history session will take place where people can trace their ancestors with a one-to-one taster session using the library computers.

A repeat of Monday’s session will be held on November 20 with the memorabilia roadshow, 5pm - 7pm, and the family history session 2.30pm - 4.30pm, and on November 21 at 10.30am - 12.30pm
