Bank checks in with $1500 for library books

Volunteer Julie Thomas ... “The Bendigo Bank at Woombye has given us $1500 to buy books.”

AVID readers will be pleased to hear the Woombye Community Library is open again, and even happier to hear the shelves will soon be groaning with new books thanks to a donation from Woombye & Districts Commu- nity Bank Branch.

“The Bendigo Bank at Woombye has given us $1500 to buy books,” said volunteer Julie Thomas. “So we’re very excited to be reopening.”

“We’ll be open Monday to Sat- urday 9am-midday. We’ll review that at the end of June and hopefully extend that as volunteers return. We are encouraging all volunteers to return as soon as they are able. Currently we have a reduced pool to draw from.

“We find that a lot of people come here because they find they can

source books here that they can’t get anywhere else. Kathy Newett does our book-buying and she’s very good because we have an excellent cross-section of fiction, non-fiction and children’s books.”

Library Opening Details:

• Woombye Community Library opened again on June 1.

• Reduced hours will be Monday to Saturday 9am to 12pm.

• Located in Woombye School of Arts Hall Corner Hill and Blackall Streets

• Please use the hand sanitiser provided before entry and be aware of social distancing.
