The London Library in central London is marking its 175th Anniversary in May this year. The Library may be slightly familiar to Bond fans. Not only was Ian Fleming a member of the Library and it is also mentioned in one of the books: Bond carries a London Library book when he goes to meet Blofeld pretending to be a College of Arms representative in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. As part of its 175th celebrations The Library is holding a literary celebration from 6th to 8th May 2016. One of these events, at 11:30am on Saturday 7th May, will see Sebastian Faulks and Sophie Hannah talking about the challenges of writing continuity books; Hannah has produced a new Poirot mystery and Faulks has, of course, done a Bond book. Tickets can be purchased from www.londonlibrary.co.uk/175.
