Library Closed for morning
Reminder that the library will be closed this morning (Wed 2 Sep) and will be open at 1.30pm as normal. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Final week of Library collection survey. Deadline is Sunday 6 September.
It is the final week to have your say on the library collection. 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/
