Commercial: Stephen Kelman and the Youth Consultants

No, not as it might sound, a hot new band or a long lost Douglas Adams novel, but instead a chance to hear Booker-nominated Stephen Kelman speak at Oxhey Library, just outside Watford, on Tuesday 30 April 7pm.

The Youth Consultants bit? Well, that's because he'll also be launching the fruits of labour put in by some young volunteers, between the ages of 16-25, who've created their own collection of books for the library. They'll be talking about how they went putting their choices together too.

It's a free event, but you'll need to book in advance. Call 0300 123 4049 or visit www.hertsdirect.org/libraries to find out more.
