20.01.2022 Nathan’s favourite book for Children’s Book Week was ‘My Friend Fred’ by Frances Watts. He even has a fun drawing activity to try!

20.01.2022 For us books are many things; a tool to heal, a chance to escape, a door into another mind, a teacher, a way to feel understood. #roxanegay #qotd #wentworthlibrary #library #sunraysia #bookstagram #instabooks #booklove #librarylove #readreadread #booksbooksbooks #burongalibrary #golgol #randomavocado

20.01.2022 Our current read for Wentworth Book Club is ‘The Dictionary of Lost Words’ by Pip Williams. This book follows the story of a young girl who collects rejected words for the first Oxford Dictionary, as she grows she realises that some words hold more weight than others. Set during the women’s suffrage movement, this historical fiction is deeply thought provoking. Shoutout to Lithgow Library Learning Centre for the loan. Did you know, if we don’t have a book that you’d like, we ...can request it from another library via Inter-library loan? We’re cool like that. If you’d like to join our book club; get in touch!

18.01.2022 Happy 25th Birthday to our humble little library building at Wentworth! On this day 25 years ago the Wentworth Library on Murray Street was officially opened to the public by Mayor Don McKinnon. It is thanks not only to Wentworth Shire Council and the Library staff, but to the beautiful patrons that make this library what it is today. Thank you to our wonderful community for all your support over the years, you have filled this building with much laughter and love. #murraydarling #wentworthlibrary #25years #happybirthday #nswpubliclibraries #publiclibrary #library #librarylove #librarylife #wentworth #farwestnsw #sunraysia #mallee #wentworthshire #readreadread #wentworththeread #visitnsw

17.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC Week! Wentworth Shire Libraries operate on Paakantyi, Barkindji and Kureinji lands. We’d like to acknowledge Elders past present and emerging. We acknowledge the country on which we work and pay our respects to First Nations people not only from our region but across this vast land we call home. We proudly celebrate Indigenous voices throughout the year and encourage our community to join us in honouring Aboriginal Australians and the lands on which we live.... #naidocweek #NAIDOC #naidoc2020 #barkindji #paakantyi #alwayswasalwayswillbe #indigenousaustralia #firstnations #library #nswpubliclibraries

13.01.2022 We are so overwhelmed with gratitude for everything our community are doing during this difficult time. We are very fortunate to have no active cases in our region and that is thanks to the hard sacrifices we have all had to make. We would like to say a huge thanks to all the parents who are homeschooling, the workers working from home, the people making masks for the community, to those safely distancing and checking in via phone, to those giving up the things they love most... to keep us all safe. Thank you. Thank you for caring about each other and thank you for understanding. We know it’s not easy. We appreciate everything you are doing (and not doing). We see you and we feel your pain. We will get through together. #thankyou #community #malleetough #sunraysia #wentworthlibrary #burongalibrary #daretonlibrary #golgol #buronga #wentworth #dareton #silverlining #blueskiesahead #publiclibrary #nswpubliclibraries #grateful #gratitude #stopthespread

02.01.2022 Happy Father’s Day. We hope you all had a beautiful day. We are especially thinking of those who can’t be with their fathers or children on this day. We are mindful of those who are having their first Father’s Day without their Dad, of the guardians and carers who have taken on the role of Dad, of the families with two Dad’s, the Dad’s whose children are no longer with us and all the wonderful father figures in our community that help raise this little village. We love you all. #thankyou #love #fathersday #mildura #wentworth #mallee #sunraysia #golgol #buronga #dareton #curlwaa #pooncarie #murraydarling #farwestnsw #sunset #dusk #grateful
