Grafton Midday Rotary Book Sale 8.30am Friday 3 to 6pm Saturday 4 June 2022 at Criterion Theatre

 

Clarence Valley Independent, 25 May 2022:

Grafton Midday Rotary is staging the next Book Sale June 3-4, fittingly, at the Criterion Theatre.

Book Sale coordinator, Grafton Midday Rotarian Peter Robinson said, “The book sale will run from Friday 8.30am to 6pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm.”

“We are planning a giant book sale! We were deluged with lots of new books during the Covid book sale suspensions, so there will be lots of opportunities to discover that book which is something special. And fresh stock will be added throughout the sale so there will be good chances to pick up books of interest over the two-day sale.”

“Prices have not changed: still $10 a shopping bag, and children’s books are Free.”

“With find that children simply love to go through the children’s section. They are often inspired to become book lovers and avid readers.”

“With Covid 19 in mind, masks are encouraged, especially if people feel safer that way, but are not compulsory.”

“A wet winter is coming up, so the book sale is a great time for book lovers, young and old, to stock up on some relatively new but preloved books as well as some well-worn tomes.”

The Grafton Midday Rotary book sale aims to promote literacy and to raise funds to support the local community.

Clarence Regional Library seeks feedback on their collection - complete the survey and be in the running to win a Samsung Galaxy tablet

Mayor: Richie Williamson General Manager: Scott Greensill                                                                   21 November 2014     Library seeks feedback on their collection, with a prize incentive! As part of the goal of providing a high quality, relevant service the Clarence Regional Library is asking the community to give their opinion on the items you can borrow.  A major collection survey will be made available to the community during December and January, and will be asking for suggestions about authors, areas of interest and different formats. Developments such as the growth in popularity of ebooks, the recent introduction of DVDs to the library and the changing subject interests of the community make it necessary for libraries to engage their customers in the selection of materials. In the Valley this is carried out on an ongoing basis through purchase requests and community book selection days, but this survey will help to gain a better view of what people want. Mayor Richie Williamson is encouraging everyone, regardless of age, to complete the library survey which will help to guide future planning and purchasing for the collection.  "A public library's collection is one of the community's most valuable resources. It is a storehouse for knowledge and we need to ensure that information is relevant for our community's learning and leisure needs and is in a format that is easy to access." You can access the web survey from Clarence Regional Library Web site at www.crl.nsw.gov.au  from 1st December until 31st January. Or visit one of our many branches to complete the survey. It will take 10 minutes to fill out, and can be completely anonymously or you can add your details to be in the draw to win a Samsung Galaxy tablet. Release ends.
