Tuesdays at the LILAC Lounge
LILAC is open on Tuesday evenings from 6pm. The LILAC Lounge will offer more social, and less book-ish activities. We're aiming for a simple, and reasonably predictable monthly rotation. All members and their lesbian friends welcome. Check the webpage and like the LILAC facebook page for programme updates.
As part of the Wellington Pride Festival 2021 we are offering a board games evening with Cards Against Humanity! on Tuesday 23 March at 6pm. More info about the game on the Tuesdays webpage.
Are you okay - a talk by Mia Farlane
Wednesday 24 March 6.30pm
Kiwi author Mia Farlane will speak at LILAC library on writing and researching.
Mia writes darkly humorous literary fiction re flailing relationships, failed intimacies and mental health. After spending several years in France she moved to London. Her first novel 'Footnotes to Sex' (Viking/Penguin) is available at LILAC. She returned to Aotearoa in 2019 completing her third novel, thanks to a Creative NZ grant. Mia has recently returned to Wellington for another visit, and is writing full-time.
There will be drinks and nibbles from 6.30pm before the presentation from Mia at 7pm.
Koha admission at the LILAC venue, level 2,187 Willis Street - there is a lift.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Mia Farlane is having an online conversation with Anne Goodwin, author of 'Sugar and Snails' (Inspired Quill, Polari Prize short-listed), via zoom on 25 February, 8am (Aotearoa/NZ-time). They will be discussing their debut novels and reading from them. Register here to receive the zoom link.
We display books on a theme on the top of the dispay case at the east end of the LILAC room. The current display is Other Places - novels and memoirs from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Have a browse next time you are at LILAC.
