A CHILDREN'S author will be visiting a local library to speak to schoolchildren.
Kate Maryon will be visiting Mansfield Library as part of her UK tour for new book 'Invisible Girl'.
The invitation-only event on Wednesday, June 12 is for year five and six pupils at Sutton Road Primary School and year seven pupils at the Brunts Academy, who will be invited to talk with the author in the library's auditorium.
'Invisible Girl' explores teenage homelessness and the breakdown of family life.
Nottingham County Council team librarian Liz Duncanson said: "We are delighted to be welcoming Kate Maryon to Mansfield Library to meet some local schoolchildren.
"Her talks are fun and interactive and the primary school children who attend will be encouraged to explore their creativity as part of the sessions."
Mrs Maryon will also share some of her own childhood experiences and talk about how they led to her writing.
The tour, which runs from June 3-16, hopes to highlight the work of the Railway Children charity and the Big Issue Foundation, which have endorsed the book.
