So, pop in and stock up on your reading and watching materials as the due date for books, magazines and talking books is now January.
Summer Reading Challenge is back
The Summer Reading Challenge is back for the kids again this summer with the theme “Myths, fairy tales and legends’. Why not drop in and pick up your pack. The challenge is great for all kids aged from Preschool to Year 12 and there are some fun prizes to win throughout the summer.
Christmas Card Making sessions

Reminder that Storytime is back
Join us for Storytime each Wednesday morning at 10.30am from November 11 until December 16.
Reminder that Grenfell library members only have access to the BorrowBox deal starting Sunday 1 November
The sequel to The dressmaker by Rosalie Ham is coming. Why not read the original before the sequel is released? From November 1 all members have access until December 30 on BorrowBox without any waiting. This means that 10 of you can borrow the eAudio or the eBook at the same time. So, jump online and join BorrowBox. It is free for everyone.
Activities in January for kids
In the new year there will be a few activities available for the kid. We have Decorate your own library bag and or those wanting an afternoon of laughs get yourself a team together and register for the Kids Trivia @ the Library. With restrictions easing again I have been able to double the number of teams allowed for Trivia. There are some fun prizes to be had and the Candy bar will be open for snacks. Bookings are required for all activities. Further details are available via the library website, in the library or the library Facebook page.
Free online Author Talks
Thanks to the NSW Public Libraries Association and the coordinating committee made up of various librarians across the state we now have access to free online author talks. Bookings are required via the link on the event listing on the library Facebook page.
There is only one talk left for 2020 and that is Mary Li on Thursday 10 December. Reminder that these events are free, but you must book in prior to the event to guarantee a spot.
