The library is a
community of
communities,
and there is a
spring flourishing of
things new and old. The
library is looking
brighter, cleaner,
younger and colourful.
Newest is the Caroline Chisholm Playgroup, where parents and young children from the city meet and play in the library, an early introduction to the world of culture and learning.
This is an initiative of Pauline Kennedy, who with her husband David and others has trans- formed our meeting room on Monday mornings into a magical land with colour, cushions, books and toys, and a place for friendship and support of families who may otherwise be iso- lated in inner city living. The Committee intends to build up a collection of good books for children.
The Icon School of S. Luke (Thursdays, 10 am), The Discussion Group (Wednesdays, 1 pm) and the Catholic Book Club (Last Friday, 7 pm) con- tinue to meet and to flourish. Communione e Liberazione and other groups are also meeting at the library. (Further details in this Newsletter or on our blog page) We welcome your interest and need your presence and support, in the different ways you are able. Please come to our An- nual General Meeting on 13 December 2014 at 10.30 a.m.

Also new is the lighter
and cleaner area for the
kitchen and lunch, the
work largely of David
Kennedy.
Anna Krohn and many new and old volunteers continue to keep the library open during the week, on the desk, cataloguing, doing the books and correspondence. They have embarked on a major project of ring- ing our lapsed subscribers, to renew contact, to ask for overdue books to be renewed or returned, and to alert people to due subscriptions.
The 350 Foundation is to be named and launched as the Friends of the Library. You are our Friends indeed! There will be an event to celebrate and launch the Friends in early 2015.
