The Eastern Regional Library Show 20th Feb 2008

Library staff members Lesley Conway and Pia Butcher run a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.

On this week's show

If you haven't already started your family history, but are thinking seriously about it, you could not do better than to attend one of our Beginning Family History talks. The first for the year will be held at Ringwood Library on Tuesday the 4th of March at 7pm. It's a chance to start the hunt for your ancestors, run by our very knowledgeable staff member Ann Dixon. There will be similar talks given at Knox Library in April, and Croydon Library in May.

Kathy Smalley was our guest today on the program, and as our regional Family History and Local History specialist, has organised a very full program of events. There is a Family History link from the ERL webpage, and newsletters for both Family and Military History which can be emailed to you every two months if desired. Kathy also announced today a new training offer for those interested in Military History on the Internet. There will be a 2 hour session for learning about internet resources available for the military history researcher, to be run at the same time as the Military History group based at Croydon. The next meeting will be next Friday, the 29th of February at 2pm
