To support the flood-affected communities, the Wheeler Centre is pleased to announce that all profits from our Gala Night of Storytelling 2011 will be donated to libraries rebuilding after Queensland’s recent crisis.
Wheeler Centre director Chrissy Sharp said, “In light of the devastation experienced by communities across Queensland in recent days, we feel very concerned about the damage to cherished local and school libraries. The profits from this year’s gala will be donated to support the rebuilding of Queensland’s network of libraries.”
The gala is our opening night for the year and this year features writers from around the world including John Birmingham, Murong Xuecun, Sonya Hartnett, Abha Dawesar and Mem Fox.
