I would like to send out a huge thank you to Erica Moore, Alicia Hunter and Verdel Maclean who kindly manned the library while I was on leave for three weeks. It was lovely to return from holidays to find the library well cared for. Thank you, ladies.
Preschool storytime is on again today. So, come on down for stories and craft at 10.30am.
FOGL will be hosting bi-monthly talks and morning tea. The first talk will be Wednesday 12 September at 10.30am with the discussion surrounding the recent NSW Budget cuts. So please join us to hear how these changes will affect our Library and meet the FOGL team.
