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 week for a great show.
On Wednesday's show
What was it like to be and agricultural labourer in and English village in the 1880's? Or a teenage girl at boarding school in 1880's Melbourne?
The first is described in Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson, and the second in The getting of wisdom by Henry Handel Richardson. Next Wednesday, the 15th of June the Lilydale Book Chat group is looking at novels and biographies which might give some insight into the lives of our ancestors, an interest which is often stimulated when we begin looking into our family history. Most of our branches host Book Chats, and these are a chance to broaden your reading, and enjoy some lively discussion.
Music today was from Ella Fitzgerald, and there are many great CD's of her music in the collection, of which the A tisket, a tasket 3 CD set is the most comprehensive.

I'm keen to listen to the show. Be there a podcast anywhere? Hmm?
We tried setting up a podcast of the show but didn't get regular recordings. Sorry.
Pooh! Still, mustn't blub.
