7 November 2026 What is it like to move to Texel when you did not grow up on the island? Author Iris Stekelenburg-van Halem took that step together with her husband and wrote the book Welkom op Texel, belevenissen van een overkanter about her experiences. During this book presentation at Bibliotheek Texel, Iris shares her story as a newcomer to the island. In more than 40 short stories, she describes how you settle in, how children, family and friends experience the move, and whether you always remain an overkanter. With humour and recognisable situations, she takes you into life on her favourite island. Faustine Griffioen provides musical accompaniment on piano. Afterwards, there is time to talk, buy the book and have it signed. Location: Bibliotheek Texel Time: walk-in from 10.00 hrs Admission: free Tickets: registration is not required
