A message from Maura the Clairvoyant Librarian

Maura the Clairvoyant Librarian will be conducting readings at Mornington Library on Friday 19 February. Join us for this fun-filled event!

Hello Readers,

Isn’t reading just divine? There’s little I like more on a long summer’s day than lying in the shade of a tree, a cool drink in one hand and a hot romance in the other, dreaming of exotic things and far away places.

That’s why I’m so excited to be a part of the 2010 Summer Read program. What better way to share my joy and excitement for books than visiting libraries around Victoria. Libraries, those treasure troves of stories unread, adventures yet to be taken, romances soon to the heart racing.

This year there are 10 wonderful books that will have that special something for everyone. How do I know?, you may ask. I am an Expert Global Reading Consultant. With my uncanny ability to know you better than you know yourself, and together, with my Famous Reading Machine, after much consultation, laughter and discussion together, I will magically find a book that is just right for you.

The Summer Read is all about you dear Readers. It is about what you love; reading just for pleasure, the fun we will have finding new books together, and sharing your own stories about reading and books you love and hold dear.

Two wonderful books, currently on my bedside table, that have my full attention are Women’s Waterworks: Curing Incontinence and, My Outback Protector by Margaret Way, a Large Print classic. I can’t wait to hear about what moves you.

As if all this isn’t enough by itself (and really what more could you want?), there will be fantastic prizes for the readers, give–aways and everywhere I go you can be sure of scrumptious food and refreshments. I refuse to consult at a poorly catered event.

So please join me and each other at Mornington Library on Friday 19 February to share, in a light-hearted way, the humor, pathos and joy of books.

Until then, happy reading!
Maura
