24.01.2022 If you’re stuck at home with nothing to do over the next few weeks, head down to the Tarragindi Free Library in the undercover area at Tarragindi Fitness and grab yourself some free books to tie you over. There are loads of books there to keep you occupied. I have managed to score some great reads from the library and I hope you can too.

23.01.2022 Author Profile Kate Morton Did you know Kate Morton was born in South Australia and moved to Tamborine Mountain when she was 4, sharing a loft bedroom in the attic with her sister. She was inspired to become an author by Enid Blyton who wrote about the magic far away tree, which she was absolutely enchanted by when she was younger. She is the author of 5 novels, all of which have been New York Times bestsellers and now lives in London with her husband and 3 children. ... Kate Morton is now one of my favourite authors and I first came across her books through the Tarragindi Free Library.

22.01.2022 Author Profile John Grisham Did you know After graduating from law school in 1981, John went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. One day at the courthouse, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girls father had murdered her assailants. ... Getting up at 5 am every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987, which is how he became an author. :-)

17.01.2022 Author Profile - Bryce Courtenay Did you know - Bryce Courtenay was born in South Africa, moved to London (where he met his first wife) to study Journalism, and then moved to Sydney in 1958 where he had 3 children. He published 24 novels which were mainly set in South Africa and Australia. Bryce died of gastric cancer in September 2012. ... I met Bryce in 2001 and was inspired to travel to South Africa to see why the country inspired him.

16.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS: The Tarragindi Free Library has expanded! We now have bookshelves in 2 different locations in Tarragindi. Talk of Tarragindi - Speech Pathology kindly donated a bookshelf to the library, and I have teamed up with Leaf espresso bar to give you a second free library. You can find the second library on the back deck of Umu Kitchen (previously Leaf Espresso) at 8 Denham Tce, Tarragindi. Just ask the staff and they will direct you to it. It has a lot of adults ficti...on, kids books and some kids colouring in books and toys in it, ready and waiting for you to use! The original free library is still located at Lang & Co Espresso on Fingal Street, however the cafe is closed for renovations until Monday the 18th February, at which time there will be new management. You can still access this library between now and then though. The new library is only open during Umu's opening hours, however the old library is still open 24/7. Happy reading everyone!
