What a wonderful Service...


Our artistic Mobile Library Van...

In our area we are very fortunate to be able to have the service of a Mobile Library... Our main Libraries are in Allora, Warwick and Stanthorpe but there is the wonderful online service where you can order anything that the Library has and then they will send you a letter to let you know it is ready to be picked up from your chosen place. Mine is always the Mobile Library.

It comes out here with Helen once every two weeks on a Thursday. It is a wonderful chance for me to go for a little walk through the neighbourhood and catch a couple of rays as well. :)

I absolutely love this service and am glad that it is going for another year. There were some whispers that it would be cut in this budget as it was a tough one but no it is still here. Yay!!! I hope more people use it over time as it is such a wonderful service that we can't afford to lose it. Especially out here. It takes a 1/2 drive to get to either Allora or Warwick Libraries... Such a service we are very fortunate to have. :)

I have suggested to the Librarian if it would be possible to have reservation notifications emailed to us rather than wasting the paper and stamp and that is in progress at the moment. Am very happy to hear that as I hate seeing waste. :)

Love the Library as it saves us a fortune on books etc. Joshua came home once with Book club... Wanted a set of Andy Griffiths Books... I mentioned that we could look it up to see if they had it at the Library, which off course they did, and sure enough we have had a ball getting the books out and the boys reading them, especially by candle light while Dad is gone during the week. They love the things Andy gets up to... So up a boy's alley :) :)

Lately we have been watching "Highway to Heaven" and are about to get out "MacGyver". Love those old shows and love showing them to the boys so they can enjoy them as well. :)

Love this service :) I hope it never goes away :)

Cheers Damaris
