Time is Tight

I'm feeling the lack of time at the moment, so instead of feeling guilty about not giving outside of our family circle, I've decided to concentrate on the projects in hand. Hopefully this means that those involved will benefit from the results.
The NightWriters writing group is running a writers workshop on Saturday 10th December. I'm preparing great information to take home, and a fun program to help us reconnect with our "inner writer selves".
All are welcome to come to the Write Now Cafe at 9.30am at Mt Ommaney library.

Let's give away books

I've recently received requests for books - some for the Mother Africa project for Zimbabwe and for the Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library. I love the idea of passing on good books that we've read. Being engrossed in a story takes all our attention; it's a mini escape for the mind. Text books impart knowledge, anywhere at any time - no internet required. I had a few favourite childhood books that I read again and again. During school we struggled through Shakespeare, Charles Dickins and Thomas Hardy. Isn't it amazing that work from so long ago is still read and enacted in theatres today?
If you love a book - set it free. (Sorry about the paraphrase!)
Let someone else enjoy it too. Many new state schools need books, because funding only allows for the building and the librarian, not the resources! Most charities accept books. Retirement villages, nursing homes, second hand book stores .. let's pass on and share our books.
