Spy Dog author visits Loughborough Library

Local best selling author Andrew Cope will be coming to Loughborough Library on Thursday 18th June between 3.45 and 4.45pm.  

Previously a lecturer at Loughborough College, Andrew has found great international success with his award winning series of children’s books inspired by his family’s pet dog, Lara.  The ‘Spy Dog’ series features five books which follow the hilarious adventures of Lara, a dog who is really a secret agent, highly trained to catch criminal masterminds.

The author’s visit is aimed at 8 – 12 year olds and is his second visit to the library.  Liz Evans, Library Development Worker at the library said:

‘We’re really looking forward to Andrew’s visit.  We had over 40 children come to see him and Lara last year, and he’s likely to be even more popular now because he was on the Leicestershire Children’s Book Prize shortlist.  I would urge anyone wanting to come to book their place as soon as possible.’

Bookings can be made by contacting the library on 01509 212985.  The event is free of charge, but Andrew will be bringing copies of his books to buy and will be signing books on the day.
