Dear Friends

To keep you in the loop following the Prime Minister’s directive all branches of Central West Libraries will close until further notice at the close of business this afternoon (Wednesday 25 March). At this stage staff will continue to work within the branch environment on collection maintenance and other projects and will be here to take your phone calls and answer your emails.

Our key messages are:

• Please retain any items you  currently have on loan – don’t worry no overdue charges will be incurred
• All loans have been extended until the end of May 2020 and we will extend this period if necessary
• Check our website and our social media (Facebook & Instagram) for updates

We are finalising  a range of initiatives that will complement our existing on-line presence  and we will be telling you about these in the days ahead.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the fabulous CWL team who have been working tirelessly over the past couple of weeks to ensure that this difficult transition goes smoothly. I am so proud of each and every one of them.

To you our dear members, stay safe and well. We might not see you come through our doors for a while but keep in touch and get involved in the discussions we’ll be having on-line and encourage others to join in.

With warmest wishes

Jan

Event Cancelled: Meet Bestselling Author Nicole Alexander

**Please note this event planned for Wednesday 25 March has been cancelled. Here is the statement from Nicole’s publishers:

“After much consultation with managers across departments, Penguin Random House Australia have made the decision to postpone all author events until further notice, in the interest of the health and well-being of our authors, employees and partners. As with all aspects of this plan, we will continue to monitor this timeframe and keep everyone updated. Thank you.”

Spanning two centuries, Nicole Alexander’s compelling new novel The Cedar Tree is a story of love and faith, destiny and betrayal, in a land as richly diverse as the secrets it keeps. Come along and hear more from this fascinating and successful author.
