Freshwater Parish Council\, which has taken over the freehold\nof the village’s library from the Isle of Wight Council\, is hosting a\nbook fair which will include live readings\, a book sale\, a publishing\nworkshop for both established and aspiring authors\, and a themed film night. \nSince Robert Hooke published ‘Micrographia’ in 1665\, authors connected\nwith Freshwater have included Alfred Tennyson\, Edward Lear\, Lewis\nCarroll\, William Allingham\, George Bernard Shaw\, Virginia Woolf and\nLynne Truss. The West Wight is home to many authors and aspiring writers\ntoday\, who frequently cite the area as an inspiration for their work\, or\nsimply as a great place to live and write. \nOn the evening of Friday the 6th of September\, the Friends of Freshwater\nLibrary will be showing the film ‘The Bookshop’\, starring Emily Mortimer\nand Bill Nighy. The library doors in School Green Road will open at 7pm\nfor the film starting at 7:30pm. Tickets will be £3 on the door\, or\navailable two weeks in advance from the https://www.fofl.co.uk/shop/\nwebsite. \nThe book fair will see the launch of a new ‘Write Club’ for authors at\nFreshwater Library\, with an inaugural workshop from 10am to 12 noon on\nSaturday the 7th of September. Entitled “How to get published”\, this\nworkshop is aimed at both new authors\, and those experienced writers and\npublishers looking for better ways to produce and sell their books. The\nworkshop is free of charge for participants\, but places are limited to\ntwelve and must be booked in advance by phoning library supervisor Anna\nBritton on (01983) 752 377. \nA book sale will open at the Freshwater Memorial Hall in Avenue Road at\n12 noon for sellers and 1pm for buyers\, ending at 5:30pm.

Folding tables\nwill be provided if required. \nThere will also be author readings at The Freshwater Coffee House in\nSchool Green Road on the 7th September.

Baristas\nwill be on hand to serve speciality coffee\, tea and light refreshments. \nParish Councillor Daniel James commented “If the first Freshwater Book\nFair proves popular with local residents\, Island authors and the book\ntrade\, it could become an annual event. Our aim is to provide a\nlow-cost\, accessible event that promotes both local writers and our\namazing public library\, offering something for people of all ages.”
