Brent Poet Laureate

Tomorrow evening, Brent's Wembley Wordfest will feature an evening with the Brent Poet Laureate Simon Mole.  Simon is well known in Brent, but this is the first time that the Brent Library Service has had this kind of formal relationship with a writer.  It seems an innovative way for libraries to work in support of the wider Arts agenda, and was one of the many good ideas put forward in the Libraries Transformation proposals passed in 2011.
