About Richard Lambert Celebrates Green Libraries Week
Richard Lambert will celebrate Green Libraries Week 2026 and dive into the power of creative writing in this masterclass for Year 9 – 11.
This will be an interesting take on the climate and nature, drawing on disinformation, misinformation and fiction. Richard Lambert will take students on a journey of creative writing and explore concepts of regenerating nature whilst looking at the importance of research.
A few words from the author:
My writing has a green focus. My first novel, The Wolf Road, was aimed at a YA audience and has a contemporary setting. It is about a teenage boy’s relationship with a wild wolf and with the mountains of Cumbria. It was described by the Irish Times as ‘a love letter to nature’. My second and third novels are a crossover between middle grade and YA, and are portal fantasy adventures set between our contemporary world and a fantasy world. They are adventures but have serious themes. Shadow Town is about climate change (in the fantasy world, due to the greed, exploitation and ambition of the ruler of that kingdom, there is a complete climate breakdown).
This is part of the schools Green Libraries Week programme.
