Success for Mark
As one of the Crime Writers' Association's Libraries Champions, I am delighted that the organisation has named the excellent Mark Billingham as this year's winner of the Dagger in the Library award.
He said on his Facebook page: 'I could not be more thrilled about this. Were it not for the weekly trips to the library with my mum when I was a kid, I would never have become a reader and every writer is a reader first and foremost. To win an award that is voted for by librarians is very special, because they are superstars. Thanks so much to them and to the Crime Writers Association and KEEP LIBRARIES OPEN.'
Well said.
