The Eastern Regional Library Show

Each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm Lesley Conway does a radio show on Eastern FM 99.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show.

On this week's show

Guests Lorraine Seeger (Community Liaison Manager) and Bern Nolan (Belgrave Branch Manager) are off to England in two weeks time to investigate how some libraries deliver services to their communities. Some innovative ventures include library service in Leisure Centres and pubs, and here in Melbourne there are library services on commuter trains and in shopping centres.

Lorraine encourages any community member who is interested to give feedback to ERL via suggestion boxes in Branches or submissions on the proposed four year plan for ERL, on display in our branches this week.

There was no chocolate eaten this week, but Lorraine may return from her travels with some hints about where to find good chocolate in England.

Lorraine recommends upcoming talks (and books written) by Melbourne historian Robyn Annear and Stephen Ryan from Dicksonia Rare Plants Nursery.
