Singular AGM for Library Friends

By Cecilia Owen

The Friends of Wollongong City Libraries was delighted to welcome Om Dhungel (pictured) as our August speaker. Not only was he an eloquent, informative, and thought-provoking speaker, but also a friendly, humble, and inspiring man. His book, Bhutan to Bankstown, is well worth a read.

Our next meeting will be our Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will be held at Level 9 of the Council building in Burelli Street at 11am on the 12th October.

If you would like to be more involved with the Friends of the Wollongong City Libraries, we can assure you of a warm welcome. We will be voting on a name change – from ‘The Friends of the Wollongong City Library Inc’ to ‘Friend of Wollongong City Libraries Inc’, to reflect the fact that we support all the libraries in our area.

After the AGM at noon, we will have Natasha Lester to speak to us. Natasha is an internationally best-selling author. Her latest novel, The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, is about three generations of a fashion dynasty in Paris. It is a real page-turner, full of intrigue and secrets – if you’re interested, Wollongong City Libraries have a wide selection of her books available for borrowing.
