Author Evenings at Mosman Library
Marieke Hardy – You’ll be sorry when I’m dead
From growing up wide-eyed on the set of Australian soaps to her infatuation with Bob Ellis, these are the outrageously entertaining and deeply revealing reminiscences of a multimedia star.
Lindsay Tanner – Sideshow
Richard Glover – Why Men Are Necessary
A hilarious — and optimistic — look at Australian family life with the popular journalist and radio presenter.
Hugh Mackay – What Makes Us Tick?
The 10 desires that drive us: Hugh Mackay goes to the heart of some of life’s big questions.
Peter Goldsworthy – Gravel
Peter Goldsworthy has won major literary awards across a range of genres: poetry, short story, the novel, in opera, and most recently in theatre. He came to Mosman Library on 17 March 2010 to talk about Gravel, his new collection of short stories.
Richard Glover – The Mud House
Richard Glover talks about his new book that describes how he and his friend Philip and their partners built a house in the bush on weekends. It was a huge and exhausting undertaking … not least because they decided to use mudbricks.
Thomas Keneally – Australians: Origins to Eureka
‘Australians: Origins to Eureka’ is the first volume of a unique history where people are always centre stage. Thomas Keneally has brought to life the high and the low, the convict and the free settlers of early Australian society.

The Making of Our Digital Nation: Rose Holley at Mosman Library
Rose Holley talks about digital volunteers and the amazing things they are achieving. She also speaks about the innovative crowdsourcing projects at the National Library of Australia.
Rose Holley was manager of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program. She now manages the new Trove discovery service from the NLA. She recently published Crowdsourcing: How and Why Should Libraries Do It?, a paper that analyses successful projects and issues a challenge to libraries: Do we have the courage, and dare we give users something greater than power — freedom?
