SEND Information Fair and Author Talk with Cathy Reay

Author Talk with Cathy Reay

We are excited to be welcoming guests including Hertfordshire’s SEND local offer, SPACE, and many more local organisations to a free drop-in fair for parents and carers of children with SEND.

On Wednesday 1 October, we are excited to be welcoming guests including Hertfordshire’s SEND local offer, SPACE, and many more local organisations to a free drop-in fair for parents and carers of children with SEND. This will run in the afternoon from 2pm-5pm and will be a great opportunity to connect with local services, for support, information and community. Whether you drop-in before the school run, or come after school with your children, we hope you can join us.

At 5pm we will be hosting author Cathy Reay, to talk about her new book ‘How to be Disabled and Proud (or at least kinda sorta ok with it)’. This is another free event, that you must book your space for either at the desk in the library, or by emailing libraries.information@hertfordshire.gov.uk. Cathy will speak about her experiences as a disabled person but also as a mum to two disabled children. This event is aimed at parents and carers, looking to support and advocate for their children.

Date: 1st October 2025.
