Library Connect July 2025

This edition of Library Connect has the usual listing of new books, a few articles for your interest and a reminder that we still have spare copies of the Flora of Australia to give away. Not all volumes are available so please contact Alex if you are after a specific volume. 

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

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