Friends of the Library Book Sale:
This coming Friday and Saturday, 9th and 10th October, the Friends
will hold their final book sale for the year. Friday from 4pm till 6pm, and
on Saturday, 9am till 12 noon. This will be held inside only, on Level Zero
on the Friday afternoon. But it will be expanding into the courtyard on the
Lagoon as well, on Saturday morning.
There is a lot of stock put aside for this sale, so it will be a good one for the
keen browsers and those opportunists amongst us, who just love a lucky
dip type sale. Helpers from our Friends will be greatly appreciated, either
on Friday or Saturday, to assist sales and the clean up afterwards.
Storytime is just for the littlies, 10am and 11am on Wednesdays and
Fridays. For children 0 to 5 years in the children’s area. Stories, craft,
songs and more, all for free. No bookings are necessary, more information
on this can be checked out on ph. 69269700.
As part of the “Fusion 2015 “ event coming up soon, there has been a number of
drumming workshops, with participants preparing for a public performance during the Fusion
2015 Festival, on 17th October. Djembe Drumming Workshops have been conducted by
Frank Newah-Jarfoi in the library, preparing for this event.
If you are downtown of an evening, between 6.30pm and 10.30pm, until
the 12th October, check out the projection on the Civic Centre northern
wall. Andrew Hagan’s work, “Watches” has been chosen as the first of
the commissioned projections. This is part of the Public Art plan 201416 for Wagga Wagga.
A free hearing clinic: For all of us who are definitely not deaf, nor do
we have any hearing loss! That is one in six of us in Australia. Australian Hearing will
conduct a free clinic on Tuesday 27th October from 10am till 1pm, in the Community
Learning Space on Level one. Bookings are essential though, to reserve your space by
phoning 69269700, or online: wcl@wagga.nsw.gov.au
Next monthly meeting for the Friends will be on Tuesday 13th October at 4.45pm, in the
Community Learning Space on Level One. Due to lack of numbers last month, this will
be the Annual General Meeting, so please attend if you can.
