Roger McGough is the author of over a hundred books of poetry for adults and children. Safety in Numbers is his latest collection. Traversing rocky terrain with the assurance of a poetry Rover on Mars, McGough brings down to earth the strangeness of a time on hold. Staycations, adultery in lockdown, ghosts and gamblers, as well as playful advice (don't do it!) to up-and-coming poets. With the gift of many tongues, playful, surreal and tender, McGough ‘a trickster you can trust’ reveals the telling moments of our lives.
 One You East Sussex, the county’s healthy lifestyle team, are running free 45 minute health check sessions in Battle, Bexhill and Hastings libraries.
The NHS Health Check is a free check-up designed to spot the early signs of strokes, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. If you’re aged 40-74 and you haven’t had a stroke, or don’t suffer heart disease or kidney disease, you are eligible.
 ‘Sharks in the Time of Saviours’ by Kawai Strong Washburn is exclusive to Libby.
It is summer blockbuster and holiday reads season, and the blockbuster that began them all? Why Jaws of course!
Set in Hawaii, a boy falls into the sea and a shark takes him in its jaws – only to return him, unharmed, to his parents. For the next thirty years he and his family struggle with life in the shadow of this miracle.
“The writing is so absolutely outstanding, I can't praise it enough, a book like this is a rare treat!” Read and loved by Karen.
