Library Lines: Storytime is finally back on

Join us for Storytime each Wednesday morning at 10.30am from November 11 until December 16.

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.

During the week of 20-29 November, the library will be the drop off point for those wanting to participate in the #IT'S IN THE Bag campaign.

So, start putting your bags together.

The library will have bag tags ready for you to attach when dropping your bags in from November 20.

There are 7 weeks until Christmas.

Are you starting to organise what you will be doing or eating?

FOGL have kicked off their Christmas raffle.

Reminder that these events are free, but you must book in prior to the event to guarantee a spot.

To the 1,000 books families who have registered.

I am preparing for a presentation ceremony for those who have completed milestones since our last ceremony back in February.

If you have completed your reading log please drop them into the library to ensure that your child receives their certificate(s).

So, lock in Saturday 21 November at 10am.

For those who haven't registered their child it is never too late especially if they are attending the Grenfell Pre-School and Long Day Care Centre, the books read will count towards the 1,000-book total.
