Please stop at the front entry and read the signs
It has now been 5 months of COVID-19 with the various lock down and restrictions in place by the Government but there are still numerous members of the community who refuse to follow Government directives. Please note that signing into the building upon entry is NOT optional. NO sign in, NO entry.
There have been many comments from the community that they didn’t see the signs, the hand sanitiser, and the iPad for sign in. Sorry but we do not understand how you can miss something in the entry way that was never there to begin with.
Library collection survey
There are almost 700 members registered at the library and I need your help. To make sure that the library is providing the right type of materials for the Weddin Shire, we ask that everyone fills in the collection survey via https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QLXXQ6C this will only take a couple of minutes to fill in. Thank you for your help.
The second-hand book sale is now on
The second-hand book sale has returned. Please help support your local library in buying old library stock. All funds raised is spent on new stock for the library. Cash sales only. Please bring your own bags.
Storytime will not be returning for a while, but you have free access to Story Box
Use it as a bedtime tale, a facilitator for discussion in the classroom, a complement to library Storytime, or a read aloud model – the choice is yours. No matter what the reason for your visit to Story Box Library, we help children journey to that most uniquely precious place, the wilds of their own imagination.
Our stories have been selected with children of pre-school and primary age in mind. Stories have been broken down into the following categories: Pre-school (3 – 5 years); Lower Primary (5 – 7 years); Middle Primary (8 – 10 years) and Upper Primary (10 – 12 years).
Access is available using your library membership via https://grenfellpubliclibrary.org.au/elibrary/
