Did you know that before Roald Dahl became a household name as a children's author, he published many short stories for an adult audience? Many of these have twists and turns and a dark humour that we saw versions of in his popular junior fiction writing in later years. 

This is the week where ‘Roald Dahl Day’ makes an appearance in our calendars, and we'd love to invite you along to Dungiven Library where you can take part in a shared reading experience - you are welcome to read parts of the story yourself with staff, or you can just listen if you prefer. We will be reading aloud a mysterious short story from the master of storytelling and enjoying a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits!   

No booking required.  6:00pm - 6:45pm.
