Your chance to meet THE one and only Judy Nunn
We can't quite believe that acclaimed actor and best-selling Australian author Judy Nunn is coming to visit us in November! But she really is and this is your chance to hear all about her life journey and her brand new novel, Khaki Town. We are SO EXCITED!! Judy has had an extraordinary career. After combining an internationally successful acting career with scriptwriting for television and radio, Judy decided in the 90s to turn her hand to prose. And hasn't she done that well - at least a dozen bestsellers, she is widely considered as one of Australia's leading fiction writers.
You'd better get in quick though, this event will be super popular. There is a small charge of $5 to cover the hire of the the Function Centre but you'll get a drink on arrival, and there are door prizes up for grabs! It's going to be a fab night and we CAN'T WAIT!
We're celebrating all things digital with a week-long campaign offering skills and know-how to everyone. We will help you make the most of the internet - you might just be surprised at what you're missing out on! There really is something for everyone - check out our photo editing workshop, healthy living apps, family history online and culinary technology, just to name a few. There are plenty of amazing topics, don't forget to book your spot.
In October we are celebrating with a few colourful events! First up we've got a special event on October 16 for young LGBTIQA+ people, parents, carers and educators to come together to share stories, insight and knowledge with each other in a safe and welcoming environment.
On October 17, we've got a special Spirit Day Rainbow Storytime where everyone is invited to wear purple as a sign of support of LGBTIQA+ youth. And lastly, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the LGBTIQ movement in Australia, we'd love you to join us on October 18 for an expert panel of speakers reflecting on queer history, community and experiences.
ALL of our branches will be CLOSED on Wednesday, October 9 for our annual staff training day. All of our library staff will be getting together to learn, be inspired and work out how to deliver an even BETTER library service.

Linda is deaf, and was brave enough to come along to our Monday Crafternoon. Linda's beautiful story illustrates how libraries can change lives in ways we might not expect.
"I have a library membership and when I saw some knitting and crochet displayed I came along. I cannot lip read, but can sign and write on note paper. The craft group makes me happy and I look forward to coming. I have made these baby booties and hat with the help of the ladies in the group as I find it difficult to follow written instructions in English. I now feel very accomplished in my knitting and crochet."
