Originally built for Council chambers, the Cove Library has out grown this building in recent years. The Library is currently operating from both this location and a temporary space directly across Longueville Road for the next year or so!
If you want to see more pictures of whats happening in the Cove Library you can look for more on filckr under : TheCoveBlog !

Deciding what to do with this Blog was the hardest thing --now, by George, I think I've got it!

I just taken some picture to put on here through Flickr and in the process it came to me!

Here in The Cove we are finally getting a new library! YES - after 2 years in the Land and Environment Court, and our temporary library space awaiting our presence, Now it is finally all happening! [Well it will be another year, at least, before our new space is completed !] but Hey, that has got to be worth waiting for!

No more leaking roofs, no more rolling out the plastic to cover the shelves and no more filling the isles with buckets and even crates to catch the drips every time it rained! No more fans trying to dry damp smelly carpet! No more wondering if the heavens will open and and drop rain on our library roof every night before you left! [thank God we were in a drought! - but it still happened with monotonous regularity!]

SO this blog will be about how they finally cut off the back half of our Cove Library, and now we get to work out of two library spaces, across the road from each other! There is never a dull moment here in The Cove! and when I work out how to add the pictures, you can see for yourself!

WEB 2.0

Hi this is my first posting; I'm learning Web 2.0 and have just created my first blog! I'm hoping to learn about this new technology and find some applications for my work and hobbies too!
I liked having the 7 & 1/2 habits of lifelong learning spelt out and hope that putting them into practice in Web 2.0 won't be too daunting for little old me!

I really enjoyed looking at the Southern Tablelands History Matters blog site and it did open my eyes to a variety of possibilities for this application in libraries.
