Literature lovers on the Central Coast are in for a treat as the Sydney Writers’ Festival prepares to live stream its thought-provoking discussions and conversations straight into local libraries. 

From May 23 to May 25, Central Coast libraries will offer locals a front-row seat to engaging dialogues with renowned authors and thinkers from around the world.

For those unable to make the journey to Sydney's Carriageworks, these libraries will serve as the perfect alternative venue. With a lineup boasting a diverse array of national and international writers, this is an opportunity for book lovers to immerse themselves in the rich celebration of storytelling and ideas that the festival is renowned for.

The program promises something for everyone, from discussions on pressing global issues to intimate conversations with bestselling authors like Trent Dalton, Celeste Ng, and Julia Baird.

The streaming sessions will cover topics ranging from the role of journalists in war to the explorations of life’s big questions in A.C. Grayling's talk on the meaning of life in a technological age. 

Visit local libraries including Lake Haven, Toukley, Kincumber, Umina Beach, Erina, and Tuggerah to catch these exciting events. While admission to the live streams is free, bookings are essential to secure a seat. Head to Love Central Coast to secure your spot.
