What’s on @ The Library

June 5, 2020 By editor

YOUR LIBRARY IS BACK!

We are looking forward to seeing you back at the library – it’s nice and warm inside so come in for a visit! Currently Parkes branch is open Monday to Friday from 10am – 4pm, with Peak Hill, Trundle and Tullamore branches open normal hours. Check our webpage for details and temporary conditions of entry.

WHAT ARE YOUR EARS READING?

Now that we are able to hit the road and travel around NSW, you might be interested in borrowing from our extensive collection of audio books. We have something for everyone from crime and mystery, to romance and biographies, from contemporary issues to children’s books. Hands-free reading while you’re driving, cooking or just relaxing. We also have a large collection of e-books and e-audiobooks that can be downloaded.

STAFF PICK OF THE MONTH

Phosphorescence: on awe, wonder & things that sustain you when the world goes dark. By Julia Baird

Julia Baird’s search for the ‘light within’ and for what makes people shine has resulted in the perfect book for 2020 as the world seems to have been turned upside down. This beautifully written book investigates how we can find the light within each of us that will sustain us through the darkest of times. Baird shares her own personal accounts and investigations into seeking out awe and wonder in the world, paying more attention to the present and living deliberately, finding stillness and silence, being with friends, and finding the extraordinary in the everyday or ordinary. Now available in hard-back or audiobook at Parkes Shire Library.

STORYTIME ONLINE

Don’t forget Storytime on our Facebook page every Wednesday at 10:30am to see library staff reading children’s books – it’s the next best thing to actually being here in the library!
