- CAN I WATCH LATER? Yes! Sign-up and we'll email you a recording
Event Description
This is a variation on Sue's usual travel talks, and is part of her 'travel talks with a literary twist' series. Starting with Canada's smallest library, and possibly the world's smallest, we romp around the world, looking at the oldest libraries, the quirkiest, the most remote, the loneliest, and the ones you could never even dream of. For those who like to learn from a talk and be entertained, then this talk ticks all the boxes. For a start, can you imagine how bats, goats, the Titanic and Dolly Parton fit into a talk about libraries? Intrigued, then just sign up for what is bound to be a fascinating talk.
- Duration: 60 mins
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
Meet the Host, Sue
Sue Ablett is a great traveller, having visited all continents and loves talking about her trips. Her career included a mix of jobs, from Russian Linguist to Executive Director of a national children’s cancer charity, pulling in a PhD ‘just for fun’ along the way. Now retired she is Chair of Evesham Festival of Words, an avid litter picker, and, despite the advanced years, still a keen distance runner. She also enjoys cycling, dog walking, gardening and splits her life between Leicestershire and Evesham.
Preparing for the Event
For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).
We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
