For reasons of hygiene, pre-loved toys cannot be accepted, so only new items please.

We are also participating in the Food for Fines - people with overdue books that have attracted library fines can swap their fines for non-perishable food items. Instead of paying money, they can donate an item of food to the Christmas Appeal! 

You will have until Tuesday, December 12 to make a donation. 

People unable to get to the library can drop their donations to Gunnedah Shire Council administration building at 63 Elgin Street.

There’s plenty going on in the library this week. Toddler Time is held three times a week at 10.30am on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday – just come in and enjoy the stories and handicrafts with your little ones, and join them up to our 1000 Books Before School reading program at the same time.

Older children can have fun training their brain with Junior Brain Games on Wednesday afternoon at 3.30pm. As well as stories, they enjoy activities that stretch their minds such as spot the difference, word games, number activities, mazes, join the dots and so on.

The Family History Group also meets this Friday, November 24, at 10.30am, so if you’re interested in local or family history, come along and make a start on your research.

New books added to the collection this week include the new thriller by Tess Gerritsen, Do or Die; the futuristic novel by Hugh Howey called Sand, where civilisation as we know it has gone, and the world is covered with sand dunes inhabited by pockets of people; and a historic novel by Conn Iggulden titled, Dunstan, where “one man will change the fate of England”.

See you soon at the library.
