We will also be selling tickets in our Easter Raffle (which will be drawn at Midday during the Fair). Tickets will be available downstairs outside the library which will also be open from 8.00am for the duration of the sale for anyone who would like to have a look around and maybe consider joining. Anyone who joins now gets the added bonus of 15 months for the price of 12 for membership until 30 June 2018. Come along - we'd love to see you there!!
We 'officially' start our new year this week so that means our book buyers will be shopping this week getting lots of lovely new books to fill the 'New Books' shelf again. Our 'upstairs workroom ladies' will be back in action as from next Thursday morning repairing damaged books and getting all of the new books 'shelf ready'. We're looking forward to seeing those who have been away enjoying Christmas and New Year with family and friends and also those of you who have been home over the festive period and have kept coming in regularly over the last few weeks. Happy New Year to all of our readers and may 2017 be full of good health, happiness and prosperity for all. 📚

This week Static Electrics finished installing our new fans in the library and our upstairs workroom. This was made possible by a grant from the Australian Government Department of Social Services Volunteer Grants 2015 Programme. Under this grant we have also been able to update our poor old vacuum cleaner and will shortly have some much-needed and long-awaited new chairs for our volunteers so that they will be able to carry out their duties in comfort. Thank you to The Hon Christian Porter MP, Minister for Social Services.

STOP PRESS!!!! Buderim Library is currently offering 15 months membership for the price of 12 months. This includes membership up to the end of June 2017 plus a copy of our book "Boxes to Bookshelves", a book on the history of the Buderim Library from the time of its inception in 1887 when James Lindsay, one of our Buderim Pioneers and shown above, started lending books from the verandah of his home 'Ryhope'. Our fees are very reasonable at $25.00 for Full Membership and $20.00 for Pensioner Membership. Call in at the library at the front of the Memorial Hall during opening hours and our friendly, helpful volunteers will show you around.
