A first-time novelist will hold a book launch at Sible Hedingham library.

Georga Wellerd, 46, of Sible Hedingham, has written Community Chest, based in part on her experiences as a childminder.

The mum-of-two will read extracts from her book and talk about the inspiration behind it.

Copies of the book will be on sale on the day and 20% of the cover price will go to the Smile of Arran charity. The event will be on April 18 at 10am.
