Library welcomes Gary Davis

Author visits continue for October, with Wangaratta Library thrilled to welcome Gary Davis, who will delve into the experiences and stories that lead to the making of his novel Tom Mortimer Pitt Street Bankers.

Gary Davis, a retired solicitor, resides in Glen Innes, nestled in the New England Tablelands of NSW. Over the course of his career, he spent 13 years in the financial sector, 27 years practicing as a corporate solicitor, and 14 years in the business sector.

Tom Mortimer Pitt Street Bankers is a fictional novel based on real events. This is story about money and how it impacts on the lives of farmers and small business owners, in an environment where privileged bankers and powerful politicians are the decision makers, and greed rules.

Join Gary as he delves into the experiences and stories that led to the novel’s creation: the foreign currency bank loans scheme that occurred in Australia in the 1980's, and which adversely affected approximately 4500 families.

When: Thursday 31 October at 6.30pm

Where: Wangaratta Library, 21 Docker St
