Author Talk with Fiona McArthur

Join us for a delightful author talk with Fiona McArthur as she discusses her latest feel-good novel, The Featherwood Beekeeper.

Brimming with humour and charm, The Featherwood Beekeeper by celebrated author Fiona McArthur, highlights how family can be built as much as born, and that the most important discoveries aren't always the ones you were looking for.

Bookings essential via wrl.nsw.gov.au/events
Copies of Fiona’s book will be available for sale and signing on the day.

Another amazing day at the library, filled with so many smiling faces!

Did you know that singing nursery rhymes with your little one, especially with fun actions, is a wonderful way to support their development?

Actions such as clapping, waving, pointing and moving along to the rhyme help babies develop their motor skills, hand-eye coordination and body awareness — all while having fun and connecting with you!

Rhyme Time is held every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am during the school terms.

Join Liam from OM Taste to learn and play traditional Italian card games!

Over the 6 weeks, we’ll learn and play three much-loved Italian card games — Scopa, Briscola and Scala Quaranta.

Whether you have Italian heritage, fond memories of family card games, or simply enjoy learning something new, this is a great opportunity to meet people, have some fun and discover a much-loved part of Italian culture.

No previous experience is necessary! Liam will take you through the rules, strategies and traditions of each game, followed by plenty of guided play in small groups.

Afternoon tea will be provided.

Come for the games, stay for the company!

The sessions will run for 6 weeks — book just one session or come along to all six. It’s completely up to you!
