Sue’s Books

  • Free
  • Talk

Hear Sue Louis in conversation with Professor Emeritus Chris Browne.

All of us who read books generally own at least a few books. For all of us, libraries also offer an invaluable source of reading pleasure. But how does one go about collecting a personal library of one’s own?

Join for a conversation with Susan Louis to share in her love and enthusiasm for books, and to see how one lady from East ³Ô¹ÏÍø put together a remarkable collection of fine books with her late husband, Professor Emeritus Bill Louis. Sue will share with us some notable examples and personal favourites from her impressive library.

Bookings open Wednesday 25 June.

Part of ³Ô¹ÏÍø Rare Book Week.
