📚 Thank you, Tom Palmer!

A big thank you to Tom Palmer for visiting St Agnes Library on Wednesday as part of his Cornwall Libraries tour.

Tom came to talk about his brand new book, If The Invader Comes, the first in his new Cornish trilogy, set in Cornwall during the Second World War.

It was lovely to welcome him to the library and to hear more about the story, the local inspiration behind it, and his work as a children’s author.

Thank you to everyone who came along — and thank you again to Tom for spending time with us here in St Agnes. 📖✨
