Parkes Phoenix

What’s on @ The Library

February 16, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

Artist Gavin Coote Exhibit

Parkes Library is hosting an exhibition from western NSW artist Gavin Coote next month.

Contemporary artist Gavin is a journalist in a country town, but that’s just half of what he gets up to. He has always integrated some form of creativity into his life, having spent his early years drawing tractors, har- vesters and windmills that dotted the land- scape of the farm where he spent the first half of his childhood.

His quirky and surreal paintings go on ex- hibition at Parkes Library on Monday, 27th February, with an official opening on Friday, 3rd March at 6pm. Please RSVP on 6861 2309 if you would like to attend and have a beer and talk art with Gavin.

The exhibition runs until Friday, 24th March 2017.

Invite your Grandparents!

Seniors Week is 6th to 11th March. To cel- ebrate Parkes Library is inviting you to bring a grandparent or elderly friend to Rhyme Time on Tuesday, 7th March at 10.15am and Friday, 10th March at 11am or Story Time on Wednesday, 8th March at 10.30am

Parkes Library Book Club

The Parkes Library Book Club meets on the last Wednesday and Thursday of every month when some lively discussion takes place as we focus on a different book each time. Our Book Club run on a simple formu- la: gather people, pick a book, read it and get together to discuss! Come join us from 3 to 4pm, last Wednesday of the month – 22nd February or 6 to 7pm, last Thursday of the month – 23rd February.

February’s book is The Grass Castle by Karen Viggers. She visited Parkes Library last year. For further information call Parkes Library on 6861 2309.
