Library staff member Lesley Conway runs a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 99.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.
On this week's show
Rainy days and cold winds can send us all indoors and looking for something to do. If you haven't checked our the Eastern Regional Libraries Family History resources yet, go to the ERL website and follow the link.
Our guest today was Gail White, retiring Information Services librarian at ERL who is planning to do some family research and writing. She recommends the upcoming introductory course for Beginning Family History to be run at Lilydale Library on Saturday July 28th, and the Military History group which will be meeting at Croydon on Friday July 27th. Bookings can be made by phone to any of our branches. Gail mentioned that service records for Australian service men and women are available on the National Archives website.

Now for a bit of fun - identifying, researching and pricing art, antiques and collectables. Search by keyword or category eg. Breweriana or Lunch Boxes. Prices are from auctions and are in US dollars.
