Parkes Phoenix

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

May 7, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

FRIDAY FLICKS

Come along and join in the movie fun presented at Parkes Library! Our next movie is on today, Friday, 7th May at 6pm. It is a mystery drama set in drought-stricken rural Australia. Tickets are free for library members, but bookings are essential so call 6861 2309 to book your seat!

NEW! LIBRARY DISPLAY CASE EXHIBITS

Introducing our new display case, featuring a range of exciting displays and exhibits in the heart of the Parkes Library. Keep an eye out for each new exhibit, they will update every few weeks! Our latest exhibit features Costa the Composter and examples of what you can compost at home in celebration of International Compost Awareness Week.

STAFF PICK OF THE MONTH

The Happiest Man on Earth is this month’s staff pick. Eddie Jaku OAM published this powerful memoir as he turned 100. After surviving a concentration camp, losing family, friends and country, Eddie vowed to smile every day and now believes he is the happiest man on earth. It is a moving account of how happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. You can borrow it from the Parkes Shire Library either as a book or a talking book.

WASTE 2 ART 2021 COMPETITION & EXHIBITION

Waste to Art entries close today, Friday, 7th May at 5pm! We are looking forward to showing your creations at the exhibition opening on 31st May in the Coventry Room. Keep an eye out for our Waste 2 Art workshops in May with Ronda Sharpe around traditional Indigenous weaving methods using data cables. If you have any excess data cables you would like to donate, we would love to use them! They can be delivered to Roxanne at the Parkes Library.
