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. Just in from Lesley
On last week's show
Last week we caught up with recent developments in the Family History collection and services. Gail White was our guest, and particularly wants to publicise an Open Day for Family History at Ringwood Library. This will take place on Saturday July 8th between 10am and 2pm, with an emphasis on informality. There will be three very knowledgable library staff members to talk to, and computers available to check out the many useful resources provided by ERL.
Gail also made a plea for people to consider ticking the box on the Census forms this year which allow your information to be kept for future family and social historians. The information is locked away for 100 years, so personal privacy is not compromised. Gail pointed out that similar information from English census papers has proved invaluable for family historians.
Music played today was World Weary from the CD The Noel Coward Album

Watch the Space Shuttle launch
There are a lot of cool things on the Internet, but not much is cooler than a live Space Shuttle launch.
NASA TV coverage begins at approximately 11:30pm tonight Melbourne time (Tuesday 4th July). If everything checks out, the launch should happen approximately 4:38am Wednesday 5th July (Melbourne time).
View NASA TV live on the web.
You can find some fantastic information on the NASA site. Find out everything you wanted to know about the countdown at Countdown 101. There's also Mission news and facts & figures on the vehicle structure. Apparently the external fuel tank is the only part of the shuttle that isn't re-used. It feeds more than half a million gallons of fuel to the 3 engines.
Why not checkout the following books on the Space Shuttle:
Space shuttle : the first 20 years
Endeavour views the earth by Robert A Brown
