Coorara Primary school has sent us some photos of their library display for Book Week 2009. Please go to our gallery page to see more marvellous photos. They decorated the library in the theme Book Safari by dressing the Library up as a jungle board game. The students play the game by throwing a large dice and moving around the Library. The photos show some of the challenges and obstacles that they may come across as they play.
On Wednesday June 3rd 2009 interested members gathered at Westbourne Park Primary School to hear our Judge's talk presented by Val van Putten. These are always informative talks and we would have liked a larger gathering but those present were able to gain from Val's experience.
