With any luck, some of the superb broadband that is supposed to be coming Dunedin’s way can be used to highlight the rich literary traditions of our beloved town. Congratulations to Liz Knowles, Bernie Hawke, Noel Waite, and Annie Villiers, plus all those who helped put the bid together. The Centre for the Book is proud to be a part of it and we look forward to even more great book-focused activities.

We join three other new Cities of Literature: Granada, Spain, Prague, Czech Republic, and Heidelberg, Germany.  Check out the UNESCO news for other creative city awards.
