By the Bel: Out of this world at Logan North Library

If you live on the South Side of Brisbane or don’t mind a commute to Logan, the Logan North Library is once again celebrating Science Fiction and Fantasy over the month of August.

Let you geek flag fly whilst making a Star Wars Badge, or finger puppet. Whack the crap out of a mate in the light Sabre challenge, attend a sci fi & fantasy trivia night; decorate cupcakes to look like zombies or some other gruesome being and take in the skill involved with the game of Triad.

The event culminates into a brilliant closing day, which includes a book sale, sausage sizzle, and Writers panel. This year the panel is epic in proportion and some of Queensland’s best authors in sci fi/ Fantasy are reporting for duty.

Rowena Cory Daniels, A.A. Bell, Trent Jamieson, Kylie Chan, Louise Cussack, Kevin Webb and our very own Marianne de Pierres, discuss what goes on behind the scenes when writers write – the music they play, the way they research, the pictures and stories they collect – all the things that contribute towards the final book and help to shape the book trailer and cover/s.

This event as a whole is small but very well thought out. I’ve been along to this for the last 3 years, and I can tell you it is getting better every year.

Some events require bookings so check with the program for more details http://libevents.logan.qld.gov.au/eventcalendar.asp?ln=2

We’d love to hear from you if you’ve had a great time at any of the events this year.
