Library Connect October 2025

This edition of Library Connect has the usual listing of new books, a few articles for your interest and the news that Alex will be retiring in December.  We will miss her!

The library is staffed Mon – Fri 9.30 – 4.30 and Alex can be contacted by email or phone (02 6250 9480) if you need assistance. The “click and collect” box in the Visitor Centre is available for returning items, and Alex is very happy to leave items there for collection if that’s easier than visiting the library.
