SUMMARY:Robin Ince: Bibliomaniac
DESCRIPTION:Why play to 12\,000 people when you can play to 12? (or\, ideally\, 40: maximum capacity in Marsden Library!)\nWe’re delighted to have Robin back again this year to talk about the book that came out of his 2021 tour\, Bibliomaniac. \nPacked with witty anecdotes and tall tales\, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books (and Libraries\, natch)  – and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them. It is the story of an addiction and a romance\, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme. \nOur friends at Read in Holmfirth will be along to sell books – and they even feature in Biblbiomaniac having hosted Robin in Holmfirth – and Robin will be happy to sign. \nThis event will take place in our small-but-beautiful\, Library – meaning tickets are strictly limited!  On Sale on Wednesday 5th April from Marsden Mechanics – make a note in your diary! \n

The book was published by Nobrow Press in 2017 and nominated for a prestigious Eisner Award at San Diego Comic Con 2018.  \nAfter moving back to West Yorkshire\, Jamie wrote and co-directed an award-winning short film\, Amputee (2020).

SUMMARY:An Evening with Dave Rigby: author of the Harry Vos investigator series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with local crime fiction author\, Dave Rigby\, for the latest from his Harry Vos series\, plus an introduction to his new creation\, DI ‘Mac’ Larsen. \nDave will talk about his two new books\, ‘End of the Line’ and ‘Mac’. \n \n‘End of the Line’ is the third book in the Harry Vos\, Belgian private investigator series and is set mainly in the German-speaking area in the east of the country.

When a body is found on a spoil heap\, south of the city\, Mac’s investigation takes him on a trail which leads into a complex and dangerous world of laser-armed drone development. \nDave will talk about both books\, their contrasting settings and what makes a good investigator. \nFREE (donations invited in support of Friends of Marsden Library).  Booking requested. \nBook Online\, or at Marsden Library. \nDoors open at 7\, event starts at 7.30.  Book signings.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Rob Vincent\, 'Colne Valley\, A History of a Pennine Landscape'
DESCRIPTION:Join Rob Vincent in the historic Marsden Mechanics Hall for a talk based on his book ‘Colne Valley: A History of a Pennine Landscape’. \nThis book is a tribute to the visual strengths of the Colne Valley’s landscape and a narrative of its development. It is inspired by the author’s experience of living for over 30 years in a house whose built form reflects the Valley’s centuries-long dual economy of domestic cloth making and small-scale farming\, and whose stones were quarried from the hillside where it stands. From affection for his family home at Harts Hole grew a wider understanding\, and a deeper appreciation\, of the landscape as a whole. The book shares both the enthusiasm and the learning that developed during that journey. \n  \n  \n\nThursday 10th March\nMarsden Mechanics\nDoors Open 7pm\nEvent Starts 7.30 pm\nLicensed Bar\n\nThis is a free event\, but you do need to book a ticket. If you would like to make a donation to support our work that would be greatly appreciated\, there is an option when reserving your ticket. \n\nBook Your Ticket
