Merry Christmas!!

Wow, what a year!! The library's been pretty full-on in 2011 and looks like next year is going to be bigger and better. We launched the 2012 National Year of Reading with a gala dinner within the library (we girls are a versatile bunch!!) so look out for plenty of activity in the new year when we hit the ground running!!! Have a great Christmas and we'll see you all next year!!

Interesting essay about Murray Darling water from author Kate Jennings

I recently came across this essay written by Kate Jennings who grew up in the area and has gone on to be an award winning international novelist, essayist and poet.  We were very fortunate to have her as a guest author in our library last year where she spoke to a "packed house". Kate has penned her thoughts on the Murray Darling water debate in an article titled "Water under the bridge".  It's one of the best articles I've read about the issues and makes so much sense.  I really recommend everyone read it. Allow yourself a little time though, as it's not a five minute read (for me anyway)....

New TV series.... (tick)

I did it! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....I can hear your rounds of applause as I type this out.

I've found a new TV series for you all to love!

Being Human is a UK series about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. Yeah, yeah, you're all saying, so what?!?!

It has a storyline, an amazingly in depth, human storyline. Its fun, strangely believable, sometimes scary and always funny. I give it a + ten on True Blood and as an added bonus it’s not R18+.

Just give it a go! Season one and two are now available at the library, with season three on the way.

I personally promise that its worth the 900 odd minutes it will take to watch the 15 episodes I have.
