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.”
