Visiting the library:
Thursday 20 August, 6.30pm In collaboration with Public Libraries NSW and The Constant Reader Bookshop, we have 50 free tickets available for an online event featuring the author James Bradley. Ghost Species is set against the backdrop of hastening climate catastrophe. Scientist Kate Larkin joins a secretive project to re-engineer the climate by resurrecting extinct species, when she becomes enmeshed in another, even more clandestine program to recreate our long-lost relatives, the Neanderthals. Ghost Species is a thrillingly original Eco Sci Fi novel. Bookings are essential and information about the webinar will be emailed to you before the date. Copies of the book are available to borrow from Stanton Library or purchase from The Constant Reader Bookshop.
