Library Connect October 2026

This edition of Library Connect has new books and journal issues and a few online articles for your interest.

The Library is staffed Monday – Friday 9.30am – 4.30pm and Ainslee 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 Ainslee is happy to leave items there for collection if that is easier than visiting the Library.
