Overview

At the end of May, a host of top names arrive in the state capital for the annual Sydney Writers Festival. But if you can't make it to the Harbour City, a number of the biggest events are being streamed for free in libraries across the Central Coast.

Lake Haven, Toukley, Kincumber, Erina, Tuggerah and Umina Beach libraries are all taking part. Note that all events are being livestreamed to all libraries, so make sure to check the Love Central Coast website for times and locations. After all, you wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to see Julie Baird, author of Phosphorescence, talk about the inspiration for her new book. Or miss  Olivier Award-winning playwright Suzie Miller speak on the huge success of her production, Prima Facie.

Or catch Trent Dalton, the biggest Australian novelist of the last years, talking about his new novel and what it means to see his breakout hit, Boy Swallows Universe, make its way onto Netflix earlier this year.

Support local libraries while also getting a slice of literary insight — it really is a win-win situation.
