Memories of Melba is a month long celebration of Dame Nellie Melba's 150th birthday. It has been a busy month in and around Lilydale, with some activities still to come. On Sunday the 29th at 2pm there will be a talk on Melba and her mates, including a guided tour around the Lilydale Cemetery, and Wednesday the 25th at 7pm there is a talk on Melba's lasting legacy. All activities must be booked via Lilydale and District Historical Society, phone Sandy Ross on 97351661 or Sue Thompson on 97619192. An exciting part of the programme is encouraging people in the community to share their memories and memorabilia with the Library and Historical Society.
A very successful day was held at the Lilydale Library on Tuesday the 17th, and we would like to encourage anyone who thinks they may have something to share, to contact Kathy Smalley at Ringwood Library, 9870 0177, to add to the treasures and insights already collected.
Using Ancestry in your research is running on Thursday the 26th May at Healesville Library at 1:30pm, when you can tap into the extensive knowledge of Gail White. If you would like to get the most out of the database, this talk is for you. Don't forget too, that not only is the Library edition of Ancestry available on PC's in our libraries, but you can access both Ancestry and Find my past via Wifi service in all our branches, with your own laptop.
Finally, an exciting opportunity to have military items and photos identified. Yarra Junction Library is hosting Militaria, at which several experts can help you find the origin of your memorabilia and give you some background history. It is on Saturday 21st of May from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
All library activities can be booked on the Calender of Events on our website, or by ringing any branch.
