What's Happening at Your Library
April Issue
In this time of uncertainty we thought it would be a great idea to dedicate our enewsletter to resources you can access from home.
Even though our doors may be closed, our staff are working very hard creating great videos for you to enjoy.
Children and parents can still enjoy Story Time with our talented Children's Team as videos are now online. Other staff have created instructional videos on how to access some great library eResources, such as eBooks, eAudio, eMagazines and much more.
See details below how you can connect to these great online resources .
We encourage everyone to utilise our online services where possible, and take all steps outlined by NSW Health to minimise the spread of the virus.
Take care, stay safe and keep reading.

Story Time Online
As families cannot come to the library, our Children's Team decided to produce Story Time Online, so children can still enjoy Bibs 'n' Books and Toddler Time in the comfort of their home.
A Taste of the Classics
Our staff have selected some of the great classics they think you will enjoy. Hopefully this will inspire you to read more.
A classic piece of literature usually has some artistic quality that has stood the test of time and has universal appeal.
Isolation Alphabet for Everyone
Each day from Monday 6 April until Friday 1 May we'll post a letter and a subject on our Facebook page. Draw or take a photo inspired by the subject and add it to your Alphabet Map in order of date.
Missed a letter or don’t have Facebook? That’s okay, every Friday for the next four weeks we will be uploading a summary of all letters on our Competition Page.

To help you achieve this, our staff have created their first set of videos for Beginners.
