Jun 14, 2025 (UTC-3)

The Importance of Volunteering in Our Society
Volunteering, the act of giving one's time and skills without expecting anything in return, has a profoundly positive impact on individuals and our society. Far from being a simple pastime, it fosters solidarity and common well-being.
First and foremost, volunteering strengthens social cohesion by creating connections between people from different backgrounds who contribute their skills and expertise to improve living conditions of the population and in our society.
This workshop has the following objectives:
1. Reflect on the importance of volunteering in our society.
2. Consider the impact of volunteering in our communities and within volunteer organizations.
3. Understand the motivations behind volunteers' involvement.
4. Examine strategies to recruit and retain volunteers.
5. Discuss best practices in volunteering.
Facilitator’s Profile
Jean-Guy Vienneau is a retired professor and administrator from the Université de Moncton after 35 years with the institution. During his career, he taught several courses on volunteering and leadership, in addition to offering workshops and training in the field of community engagement. He has worked as a consultant and trainer in every province and territory of the country, as well as in over 25 countries.
He has also volunteered and continues to provide support to non-profit organizations to equip them to better manage and motivate their volunteers.

June Text Book Club: Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann | 1 Holywell Hill
Jun 15, 2025 (UTC+1)
St Albans
For June, our booksellers were set the task of choosing a book with the theme of humour. After considering a wide range of fantastic titles, we have decided on the newly published and debut English translation
Three Bags Full
by Leonie Swann.
The book club will be held upstairs in our reading rooms and are suitable for ages 18+ years.
About the book-
On a hillside near the quaint Irish village of Glennkill, the flock gathers around the dead body of their shepherd, George, who lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George cared deeply for the sheep, reading to them daily, and as a result they are far smarter than your average flock. Led by Miss Maple, the sharpest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George's killer.
With an assortment of woolly investigators on the case, there are furtive missions into the village and a collection of two-legged suspects to chew over. Dazzingly original, Three Bags Full introduces a band of detectives who are a breed apart.

Author Talk: Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal by Robin Ince | 1 Holywell Hill
Jun 23, 2025 (UTC+1)
St Albans
We are delighted to be hosting award winning broadcaster, comedian and author
Robin Ince
in-store for a discussion about his latest book, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal: My Adventures in Neurodiversity.
Robin Ince
is a comedian, actor and writer. With Professor Brian Cox, he created and presents the award-winning BBC Radio 4 show
The Infinite Monkey Cage
, which ranks among the most popular science podcasts worldwide.
What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness, but strength?
For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play — a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. After his ADHD diagnosis at the age of fifty-two, it all started to make sense.
In
Normally Weird and Weirdly
Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the fascinating world of neurodivergence and to ask what normal really is – and whether it even exists. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with therapists, neuroscientists and celebrities, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of neuroscience and human behaviour.
A powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and self-acceptance,
Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal
reminds us all - no matter how weird we feel - that it’s okay to be a little different.
Following the dicussion, there will be time for an audience Q+A, as well as a book signing with Robin.
Please note this event is 18+.
Tea and coffee will be provided. Feel free to bring your own tipple.

June Classics Book Club: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole | 1 Holywell Hill
Jun 26, 2025 (UTC+1)
St Albans
Classics can be intimidating. They have a reputation of being too highbrow and incomprehensible for us mere mortals. We at Books on the Hill, however, think that is just not true. Classics speak of a universal theme we all have first hand experience of: love, loss, friendship, hope. They are for all of us. To tackle this, come along to our Book Club focusing on "The Classics" from recent and not so recent history.
For June, along the theme of Humour, we have chosen
A Confederacy of Dunces
by John Kenney Toole as our Classics Book Club book.
This Book Club will be held on the last Thursday of the month, and is suitable for ages 18+. Tea and coffee will be provided, as well as glasses should you chose to bring your own tipple.
About the book -
A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat, flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces.
The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged. Ignatius ignores them, heaving his vast bulk through the city's fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance. But his momma has a nasty surprise in store for him: Ignatius must get a job.
Undaunted, he uses his new-found employment to further his mission - and now he has a pirate costume and a hot-dog cart to do it with...
