Tuesday 7th February 2012 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens. This event has been well documented in the press and on television and on the day itself a wreath is being laid in Westminster Abbey, his final resting place.. There is a small display in the Library to mark this anniversary with books by and about Dickens available for loan. For more information about Dickens try the
Dickens 2012 website or if you want to read a work by Dickens but don't have the time go to The Guardian's
digested Dickens pages where you can read shortened versions of David Copperfield, Great Expectations and Bleak House.
