Sutherland Library invites you to join us for an entertaining talk by the author of 2 books inspired by his childhood experiences growing up in Sutherland Shire, as part of our Australian Library and Information week celebrations.
Berry Berry I, John Tate's first book, is a parody of life in a quiet leafy suburb of the Sutherland Shire. Following on from his first book, Berry Berry II provides a humourous insight into the political and social fabric of contemporary life in Australian society.
Dr John Tate is a lecturer in politics at the School of Economics, Politics and Tourism, University of Newcastle. He lived in "Berry Berry" until the age of 24 during which time he keenly observed its inhabitants at close quarters.
Listen to and meet the author of Berry Berry I and II at Sutherland Library on Saturday May 26 at 2pm. There is no charge and you do not need to book - just show up!
Copies of both books will be available for purchase following the talk and I'm sure (if you ask him nicely!) that John will be happy to sign your copy.
Help us celebrate and check out our other Library Week events.
