News For March

Hello everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed the Summer holidays and are getting back into the swing of life again. Welcome to any new comers to our village.

Storytime is up and running once more, Pre school age storytime is at 1030 on Tuesday mornings. The session consists of songs, story’s being read and a craft for the children to do. Story’s are theme based for the term, this term being bugs and under the sea. Please come along and join in the fun!

The Kootingal Preschool is now joining us for a storytime on Tuesdays at 1130. They are all enjoying that immensely and I would like to thank the preschool for their visits.

If your New Year’s resolution was to research your family tree then don’t forget the tremendous FREE access you have to Ancestory.com at your local library branch. You will need to enter your library membership barcode and pin to access. If you do not yet have a pin on your library card ask next time you visit the library and we will arrange this for you.

Our Summer Reading Program went well. Congratulations to all the children who participated. A certificate of Participation will be coming your way very soon. Thank you to all the parents who bring their children to the library, it is lovely to see their smiling faces and hear them read their wonderful stories.

On the collection side of things I have done a huge swap with the other libraries in our area and we now have new Mills and Boon paperbacks in stock as well as a new batch of craft magazines, including scrapbooking.

New signage on the front door has gone up and looks great. No more confusion over the hours.

Until next time,
Kerrie Shaw
