THE library and information centre at Thirsk has been presented with a copy of a new biography of the late Joan Maynard.
Miss Maynard was a prominent left-wing politician, and MP for Sheffield Brightside, who lived at Sowerby until she died a few years ago.
The book, by Kristine Mason-O'Connor, was presented at the library by local councillor Jan Marshall to the county council's executive member with responsibility for libraries, Councillor Carl Les.
Coun Marshall said: "I'm very pleased to be able to present this book to my local county council library, here in Thirsk."
Coun Les said: "I'm always delighted to accept this type of donation on behalf of the service. I'm sure it will be widely read."
