We did it, we hooked into the global network and organised a story telling event on March 20th. Well done all involved!I have been so busy lately at work with travel and functions that I have missed quite a few meetings and events.
A writing competition.
Storytelling Day.
I also missed the last BookCafe book club on Monday 25th :(
Every cloud has a silver lining, and this one is that the library is slowly but surely gathering energy and enthusiasm to get a few more things done. More staff and committee members are getting involved, and the funding partners are starting to get behind activities. Not easy in a very difficult financial and operating environment for staff to get involved, or the committee members who are mostly volunteers with day jobs.
There is no money in the renovation project for running costs, staff training or recruitment. It is all down to library members to pay their fees and their subs. And membership still remains very, very low. Not enough yet to pay a living wage to staff and interns. Without rental income on some critical library space (not ideal) the library would surley have to shut.
Go on, join the library.
