An evening with author

The Caledon Public Library will be hosting an evening with author Catherine Gildiner. Catherine's autobiographical novel, Too Close to the Falls is both funny and true, a sometimes bizarre but completely believable story. Told with humour from an unsentimental child's-eye view, Gildiner's memoir captures the era (advertising jingles, 45 rpm records, Elvis Presley's above-the-hips appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show) and her unusual childhood as the only daughter born late in life to the town druggist and his eccentric wife.

Gildiner is an entertaining speaker and the evening promises to be full of insight, memories and laugher. The event will be held at the Margaret Dunn Valleywood branch on Tuesday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m.
