Meet Sallie Day
The National Year of Reading is a wonderful opportunity to promote new writers and Blackpool Libraries are privileged to announce an evening with local author, Sallie Day, whose first novel "Palace of Strange Girls" is due to be published in May.

Sallie was born in Lancashire and now lives in Preston. Her novel is set in Blackpool in 1959 when families travelled from all over the county to spend their annual wakes weeks at the seaside. The novel looks at the lives of the Singleton family as they spend their holiday beside the sea and each struggle with different problems in their lives.

The book will appeal to those who remember the Blackpool of old, as well as those who live here today, and Blackpool Libraries, in partnership with Silverdell's Bookshop in Kirkham, are pleased to say that Sallie will be at Blackpool Central Library on Thursday 15 May from 7.30pm.
She will read from her novel and answer any questions posed by the audience. There will also be the opportunity to buy a copy of "The Palace of Strange Girls" on the evening at a specially reduced price.

For further information about this event please contact Blackpool Central Library on 01253 478080 or Silverdell's Bookshop on 01772 683444.
