DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon with acclaimed poet and writer Nancy 
 Campell to celebrate the publication of her latest book The Library of Ice
 .\n\nThis fantastic drop-in event will include readings\, book signing and
  a chance to meet the author in our newly-refurbished Friends Room. Refres
 hments will be provided.\n\nLong captivated by the solid yet impermanent n
 ature of ice\, by its stark\, rugged beauty\, acclaimed poet and writer Na
 ncy Campbell sets out from the world's northernmost museum – at Upernavi
 k in Greenland – to explore it in all its facets. From the Bodleian Libr
 ary archives to the traces left by the great polar expeditions\, from remo
 te Arctic settlements to the ice houses of Calcutta\, she examines the imp
 act of ice on our lives at a time when it is itself under threat from clim
 ate change.\n\nThe Library of Ice is a fascinating and beautifully rendere
 d evocation of the interplay of people and their environment on a fragile 
 planet\, and of a writer's quest to define the value of her work in a disa
 ppearing landscape.
