Weaving 746.14

While the TV series "The Librarians" may have us look like we need to take up basket weaving, a very successful weaving program has finished at Aldinga.

Three weaving workshops hosted by local indigenous elders were held in the Community Room as part of the Southern Indigenous Weavers project.

The Mayor's Christmas Tree is now at

Aldinga Library.

Gifts may be donated until Friday 14 December.

Isn't the tree as pretty as a picture?

Here's a great idea!

A digital picture frame.

What would a library use this for? How about slideshows of:

• events held throughout the year and forthcoming events
• recently received stock
• artists' work exhibited in the Community Room
• a photo log of pictures previously displayed in the eco-collection
• staff picks
• local history - places to visit
  

Have your say via the poll posted on this blog.

Hand up the staff member who, on noting a borrower had an overdue item, asked her if she would like "Life Expectancy" extended????

Ah, it's good to see necromancy isn't dead yet.

Minibeasts assaulted the Aldinga & Willunga Libraries during the school holidays. Who knew so much fun could be had with a special mix of flour, water and newspaper strips?




What about a bucket of beads and some wire? Beaded critters went wild at Willunga. Bees with scary stingers and rainbow dragonflies fluttered by.

Hey, there's something fishy happening in the children's area .... they moved everything round and I don't know where to find things.

Thought I saw you floundering about. Have you seen the new shelving? It went up without a hitch.

Yeah, it looks like Jack is perched on the top shelf. Doesn't surprise me though, he's a bit of a flake.

You reckon it will lure more kids in?

Like a beacon.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the next change in this library.

Hey, they might be due for a seachange.

Spot the book title ....

At the naming of Tishkin Silk, Mr Monday said, "It's all good in the city of tiny lights."

Not so for the surgeon who had just returned from Brokeback Mountain. The surgeon, in grand final fever, had lost money to the Black Angel when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows crushed Feeding the Demons.

The foundling, a witness to this wager, did not view it as a patriot act. He vowed to kill or be killed in his quest for the rose. Armed and dangerous, he bellowed, "Have gun will travel. I'll go anywhere, risk anything and kill anyone if the price is right!"
