Knitting and Crocheting Fun at Orange City Library

Children enjoyed learning how to knit and crochet in this School Holiday session with volunteer knitters Orange Purlers. Thank you everyone for taking part and good luck with your creations!

Pageturners Read Last Painting of Sara de Vos

Love reading?  Each month we discover different authors, topical themes and thought-provoking reads. The group meets on the second Wednesday of the month from 5.30pm to 7 pm.  For October we are reading The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith and the discussion will be held on 12th October.

A dazzling and mesmerising story that charts the collision course between a rare landscape by a female Dutch painter of the golden age, an inheritor of the work in 1950s Manhattan, and a celebrated art historian who painted a forgery of it in her youth. A literary novel of breathtaking scope, ambition and achievement.
