6th Annual Collingswood Book Festival
September 29—October 4
Workshops/Lectures/Book Appraisals:
Monday, September 29, 7:30pm, Collingswood Library
Collingswood Friends of the Library Present “Meet the Director.” Today’s libraries are a lot more than dusty old places with a lot of dusty old books. Come to the Collingswood Public Library to talk with its director, Brett Bonfield, about the kind of library you want for our town. Things are changing at the Library: be a part of that change. As an added bonus, Brett will share two secrets to living a happier life: how to get in better shape, and how to never be bored again! Refreshments will be served.
Tuesday, September 30, 7:30pm, Collingswood Library

This special afternoon for the area’s 50 plus citizens includes a presentation by Barbara Solem-Stull, author of Ghost Towns and Other Quirky Places in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and local mystery writer Robin Hathaway’s insight into what it is like to put together a mystery thriller. In addition, Sister Marianne Hieb will discuss journaling, and poet Betty Warner will talk about the poetry we grew up with. This fun filled session will include literary games, laughs, and prizes, plus free books. Individuals and groups are welcome. Free, but reservations suggested: 856-854-3705 or timothyfrances@comcast.net.
Saturday, October 4, 11:00am - Noon, Collingswood Library
Join writer and zinester Katie Haegele for a workshop on how to make your own handmade publication (otherwise known as a zine). We will talk about the history of zines and look at examples of different kinds, from black-and-white photocopied manifestos to letterpress-printed, handbound mini-books. Participants will each contribute a page to a group zine that will be made in the workshop. All will receive a copy to take home. Materials will be provided. For tweens, teens, and adults. Reservations suggested 856-858-0649
Saturday, October 4, All Day, Haddon and Fern Avenues
Meet Bob Swaim, bicycle enthusiast and collector of over 100 bicycles.
