We were thrilled to welcome Sam Usher to the library today. His wonderful books and illustrations brought so much excitement to our visitors. Thank you to everyone who popped in — we love seeing our community come together for moments like this.
A special thank‑you as well to the The Snug Bookshop and Cafe for reaching out to us and helping make this visit possible.

The fantastic author and illustrator, Sam Usher, will be at Ilminster Library from 10-12pm on Saturday 30th May. Sam will be demonstrating his watercolour techniques and signing books with a flourish.

There will be the opportunity to be inspired by Sam's technique using watercolour pencils, the school holiday treasure hunt and a craft activity available.

As the 5G signal in Ilminster is notoriously flaky, please bring some cash to buy your own signed book, in collaboration with The Snug Bookshop and Cafe
