Library Connect June 2024

The June edition of Library Connect has the usual listing of new books and a few articles for your interest.

The Library is normally staffed Mon - Fri 9.30 - 4.30 or Alex can be contacted by email or phone (02 6250 9480) if you need assistance.

The “click and collect” boxes in the Visitor Centre are still available for returning items, and Alex is very happy to leave items there for collection if that’s easier than visiting the library.

Past issues of Library Connect are available on the library catalogue site. https://library.dcceew.gov.au/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?page_id=22
