Inspired by and loosely based on the format of Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, this event showcases the potential power of a good book! Following the acclaim that accompanied last years event, Desert Island Books returns ...

Amanda Brown will introduce then question her three guests who share books that have made an impression on them. Ian Anstice, library manager, keen advocate of public libraries and chronicler of the UK public libraries scene; Donna Okell, UK for Good and nominee for Change Maker of the Year 2026 and barrister David M Owen (please see outline bio's on the event details on Chester Humanist website chester.humanist.org.uk) Each of the panellists will reveal and talk about two of the books that have inspired them.

This promises to be a lovely thought provoking, enjoyable and interesting evening - there will be some time for questions from the audience at the end.
