What’s on @ The Library

March 5, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

PARKES SHIRE LIBRARY & CULTURAL CENTRE EVENTS
Parkes Library has reopened so come and visit – you never know who you might meet! Her Excellency Margaret Beazley the Governor of NSW popped in recently. She has just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and gave it a very good review! Storytime and Rhyme Time are back on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 10:30am. Book in on 68612309. Our computer research room has reopened with six public computers, printing, scanning and photocopying, and our Hublet mobile tablets are available for use. The Local History Room is open each weekday from 9:30-11:30am (or by appointment), and we have a lovely outdoor area where you can come to read or have a chat. We’ve been busy getting lots of new books and DVDs, so come in and find the latest release to read or watch.

FRIDAY FLICKS
Parkes Library is now presenting movies at the library. Come and watch a recent release Aussie comedy this Friday at 10am in the library. Tickets are free but bookings are essential so call 6861 2309 to book your seat!

STAFF PICK OF THE MONTH
BY EMMA BROWN
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig Nora Seed has found that between life and death lies the Midnight Library. This novel grapples with the ‘if onlys’ of one woman’s life, challenging her despair and woe head on. I was confronted by the strong themes, but captivated by the characters, and found myself cheering for Nora to find her happy ending. If you love science fiction that deals with multiverses, time travel and the butterfly effect, this book is for you. Warning: themes of suicide. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

WASTE 2 ART 2021
COMPETITION & EXHIBITION
Keep an eye out for our Waste to Art workshops which will be happening around April. Closing date for entries is 5pm Friday 30 April!
