JOIN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR DR ANITA HEISS AT GRIFFITH CITY LIBRARY

Locals young and old are in for a treat on Wednesday 21 June 2023 when award-winning author Dr Anita Heiss visits Griffith City Library.

There will be a craft activity to follow and an opportunity to purchase the book.
Acting Library Manager Rina Cannon is delighted to welcome back Anita Heiss to the Library.
“Anita has recently been named as a Finalist in the National NAIDOC Awards for her Creative Talent and it is a privilege to have her present two wonderful events for our community members,” she said.
