A BESTSELLING chick lit author was on hand to make sure Orpington Library’s official opening was a real page turner.
Orpington MP Jo Johnson joined Adele Parks as she cut the ribbon at the building on Saturday before the watching crowds enjoyed entertainment in Walnuts Square including dance performances and a film screening.
Ms Parks also signed copies of her latest novel and children’s book character Kipper the Dog made appearances throughout the day.
She said: “It was a great pleasure to officially open this fantastic new library.
“I firmly believe that people’s lives are enhanced by reading so it’s wonderful to see this facility available to local communities.”
The library opened in May after being moved from its old address at The Priory, Church Hill, Orpington.
