SUMMARY:Coffee Morning: Frances Mensah Williams
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free coffee morning with acclaimed contemporary author\, Frances Mensah Williams CBE\, author of Tell Me About It\n\n\nCelebrate Libraries Change Lives Week with Kingsbury Library! \nFor fans of Monica Heisey\, Holly Bourne and Candice Carty-Williams\, join us at Kingsbury Library\, sit back with a coffee\, and and connect with Frances Mensah Williams CBE\, acclaimed author of Tell Me About It. \nFrances Mensah Williams CBE is the author of acclaimed contemporary fiction novels\, including Imperfect Arrangements\, set in contemporary Ghana\, and Strictly Friends\, set in the Caribbean. She is an entrepreneur\, consultant\, executive coach\, and TEDx speaker\, and was awarded a CBE in 2020 for services to Africans in the UK and in Africa. \nTell Me About It (2026) \nTrainee relationship counsellor Delilah Braithwaite is better at breaking couples up than bringing them together. But after one break-up too many\, she’s suspended and ordered to get to grips with her own baggage if she hopes to get her job back. \nDesperate to prove she’s not the problem\, Delilah accepts a challenge from her sister: track down five exes and make amends for dumping them all with no good reason. But when she runs into Noah – the fiancé she left at the altar – her plans take a complicated turn. \nWhile Delilah seeks redemption\, her own therapy sessions begin to unearth hidden secrets and painful truths she’s long avoided. But only when she’s forced to confront the trauma of her past does she begin to understand that love means a whole lot more than just saying sorry. \nA warm and wise story of healing for 2026\, for fans of Monica Heisey\, Holly Bourne and Candice Carty-Williams.

DESCRIPTION:Join us at Kilburn Coffee Morning to explore the fascinating connection between queer identity and ecological sustainability in the garden!\n\n\nThis Pride Month workshop explores gender fluidity across the natural world — from plants that change sex to worms\, snails\, and other animals that blur biological binaries.  \nThrough a short illustrated talk\, light discussion\, and a simple hands-on gardening activity\, we’ll reflect on how ecology challenges fixed ideas of gender and what it can teach us about diversity\, adaptability\, and flourishing beyond neat categories. (No gardening experience needed.) \nPart of the The National Year of Reading 2026 which is a UK-wide campaign designed to inspire more people to make reading a regular part of their lives.

SUMMARY:Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough
DESCRIPTION:Memoir from Mugsborough   – a personal look at Robert Tressell and his book “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists”.\n\n\nWell-known Brent local historian\, Philip Grant\, takes us back to his home town of “Mugsborough”\, as it was called in the novel written in and about the town during the first decade of the 20th century.  \nThe book tells the story of life as experienced by the author and his workmates (the unwitting philanthropists of the title)\, when men in the building trade earned barely enough to live on\, and if you were out of work your family could go hungry. It is also the fascinating story of Tressell himself (not his real surname)\, of places in the town that still appear exactly as they were in the novel\, and how the book came to be published\, but only after Tressell’s early death. \nThe National Year of Reading 2026 is an ideal time to rediscover “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists”. It is a book everyone should read at least once in their life\, and if you have not read it before\, this richly illustrated talk will encourage you to read it now\, either in its original text or in its modern graphic novel format.
