Eltham Library Celebrates

 The Eltham Library re-opened to great fanfare last Monday and was officially launched on Tuesday morning in front of a great crowd.

Patrons have already made great use of the new computers and the children's area is very spacious and well loved.

There was something for everyone at Eltham during the week from an animal petting zoo, to a Wii competition, tours of the new space, the author Matthew Reilly and a harpist.

Matthew Reilly had a queue for signings the full length of the library and entertained his booklovers with stories about his critics and his start as an author before he had to make a mad dash for the airport to fly back to Sydney. What a treat to have Matthew visit the library and what a pleasure to see so many fans.

Sunday afternoon was very civilised with scones and jam and cream while listening to the hypnotic sounds of the harp.
