Health Week is back at Stanton running from 8-12 February. Check out the list of events and book yourself into a stress free activity. There are alternative therapies and general health sessions. All sessions are free. Check the web site for full details.
Stanton will be holding two sessions on social software: blogging, Skype, Flickr, Google docs and anything used to communicate via the Internet. This is an area of computers I am quite passionate about - as I love keeping in touch this way. It’s an area libraries are very interested in: as it gives our customers another way of interacting with the library, when they are not physically there. What do you think about social software? Do you love or hate it? Is it a way you like to communicate?
Christmas is here and we are working hard on our 2009 programme of events. We have excellent Community Writers: Suzanne Falkiner and Kathy Golski 28 January; Health Week coming up 2-6 February and Seniors Week is 16-20 March.
For Seniors week we will be doing a Social software for Seniors session, come along and find out all about it.
At the moment we are well into the Summer Reading for kids - and I think we have more children involved this year than ever. Well done everybody! The party is scheduled for 10 February at 4pm - so get reading;)
So many events - so little time! We are well into our Writer’s at Stanton programme for 2008 - I have noticed however that it REALLY gains momentum in October - watch this space!!!
Mental Health week is coming up in October, followed by Health Week.
I would really like to find out what everyone is reading this summer - I will send a post closer to the time - encouraging participation in this. They can be as short or long as you like. From my own perspective I find it really helps knowing what other people are reading, to choose your own reading material. Those of us blessed with the job of librarian, get to see every day the books that go in and out so quickly - let’s help those not so fortunate!
Please let us know what you think about the activities in the library. I am getting together the programme for Health week, Seniors Week and will be looking for candidates for our annual Community Writers at the end of the year.
Relax and enjoy a selection of excellent summer books this year. To encourage you to read more, Stanton library is asking everyone to submit reviews of their favourite books this summer. Start reading now! You can blog these to this site as comments, or email them to: infodesk@northsydney.nsw.gov.au If you prefer pick up special review “leaves” from the desk at the library. Your reviews will be posted on the web site and put together to provide a summer display, and summer reading list available from the library and on the Council web site. So get writing and blogging now!
This year Stanton library had it biggest number of writers ever! The programme has been running for 17 years now. Let us know your thoughts about the programme and its writers. What do you like and what can we do better?
