Unfortunately due to an error with our library upgrade last night we currently have no access to our library catalogue. We are attempting to sort out the problem but we are not sure how long it will take. We apologize to all our borrowers for any inconvenience this may cause.

We would just like to apologize to patrons who might have been unable to get onto the webopac this week. We were experiencing some difficulties with too may users accessing it at the one time. Hopefully this has now been sorted out and won’t cause any more problems. Also the library is preparing for a major upgrade to our software today so there maybe some glitches or downtime throughout today and tonight. Sobs & Songs from the ‘Inconvenient Child’

The Inconvenient Child reveals the shocking true story of an Australian child’s struggle to survive childhood and find her African-American family, after a search spanning two continents and 48 years. Sharyn Killens is a successful Australian singer and entertainer, but her life wasn’t always glamorous and her childhood was, at times, a living hell. This is the true account of her extraordinary journey to success and her quest to discover her identity. Sharyn’s story is not all heartbreak and misery. It’s also a story of triumph, faith, success, and joy. For more information you can visit the author’s website via this link : http://www.theinconvenientchild.com/index.html Just a quick note to let all our patrons know that the Laurieton & Wauchope branches will be closed from 5pm on Christmas eve and will reopen on the Monday 4th of January 2010. Port Macquarie library will be closed on the 25th, 26th & 28th of December 2009 and the 1st of January 2010. Wishing all of our patrons a happy and safe Christmas.
The Hooked with Love knitters, Joy, Anne, Phyllis and Adrienne enjoyed their Christmas get-together. These ladies (plus others not shown) meet on the first Friday of each month at Kempsey Library to knit and natter. So far, this very productive group has sent 14 of their knitted blankets sent to Samoa as part of the Tsunami relief program, and have completed an additional 7 blankets that have been distributed locally. New knitters are more than welcome, and donations of wool are always appreciated!! Just contact Kempsey Library for all the details.
