Libraries invite you to see Leigh Sales, respected Australian award-winning journalist and author in-conversation at Venue 114, Bokarina on Friday 1 December 2023.

Leigh will be in-conversation with special guest, ABC Sunshine Coast journalist Owen Jacques about her new book Storytellers: questions, answers and the craft of journalism.
