Parkes Phoenix

What’s On @ the Parkes Shire Library & Cultural Centre?

October 1, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

The library service is back to normal hours in all branches. Our home delivery service is still available in Parkes for members who wish to continue getting their books delivered.

Author-Rised is back in person at Parkes Library on 5th October, our Book Clubs will be resuming during October, and we are hoping to bring back our Friday Flicks later in the month.

While closed we have been busy ordering lots of new books, DVDs and magazines, including the latest Stephen King, Diana Palmer and Kathy Reichs titles.

In mid-October we will be launching a range of board games that can be played in the library and a range of titles that can be borrowed. Pass the Pigs, Uno, 5 Minute Dungeon, Catan, Quirkle, Citadel, Exploding Kittens and many more.
