Coffee, Cake & Create was a fabulous success at Murrurundi, Scone and Merriwa Libraries for Women’s Health Week!

The ladies had an opportunity to learn a new skill, chat about mental health and the importance of taking the time to do something for yourself.

In the process, they also produced some beautiful Artworks!

Thank you to all participants, organisers and to Anita for sharing her expertise.

Across our 5 Library Branches we celebrated the magic of reading and storytelling with visits from local Playgroups, Preschools and Primary Schools, Guest Readers including Cr Lee Watts, Mr Glen Hughes, Toni Gorlick and Local Author Paula Stevenson.

Library Staff also visited local Primary Schools and Preschools to participate in joint celebrations and in Merriwa there were Little Sprouts popping up all over the town!

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) celebrated its 24th year on May 22nd. The event featured the book Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker, a moving story of longing and connection that follows a bowerbird’s search across sea, sky and city for magnificent cobalt and brilliant, vibrant BLUE objects.

UHSL hosted 5 NSS events this year in Libraries, Community Halls, Preschools, Primary Schools and Council Chambers; with guest presenters and readers including Ranger Jen from National Parks NSW, Councillor Clout, Anna Bramley, and Toni Gorlick. A big thank you to all the attendees and especially to the organisers for creating enjoyable community events.
