The session will include a live Q&A, giving listeners the chance to ask questions about The Midnight Train, acclaimed novels such as The Midnight Library, The Life Impossible, and his much-loved children's books including The Truth Pixie and A Mouse Called Miika.

Is it books? Spoiler alert: it's not books 📚❌

From Roman treasure to 3D replica... we've loved being part of this fascinating project.

It's been 10 years since we started our 3D printing offer, and that's just one example of the technology you can access through your local library. From blood pressure monitors and activity tracker watches to iPads, there's never been a better time to visit your local library.
