Hi All!
If you are after any info about authors or titles please follow the link below.
Novelist is a website that has all the information you will need about a book or author.
It has book reviews, who writes like who suggestions, author, title and series recommendations, reading lists and a huge amount of other information you would need to find a good book.
Please be aware this is an American site so the depth of the Australian content isn't huge but it still is a great site for all your reading needs.
Cheers

Hi and Welcome to another Month!
With Christmas rapidly closing in don't forget to get your requests for reading titles for next year in to either Carolyn or myself. Also our December sessions at Campbelltown for the morning and evening will be a jointly held session on December 15 at 6.30pm. This is a chance for both the groups to get together and discuss your favourite reads.
This month is the month of Margarets with the morning group reading The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood and the evening group The Sea Lady by Margaret Drabble. Unfortunately the scheduled title for the evening group (Patterns in the Carpet) was unavailable in the required quantity so we have gone for the previously published title The Sea Lady.
The last 2 titles for the year will be Wanting by Richard Flanagan and The Pages by Murray Bail. Both these authors are well known and popular Australian authors.
Regards
David

Hi all!
The Book Club this month are reading Jillaroo by Rachael Treasure (morning) and House Rules by Jodi Picoult. Please follow the links above for more information on the author and title.
It was nice to see this month that we just about had full attendence for both sessions with the rain and cold weather not deterring anyone from coming in.
With the end of the year drawing closer it's time for everyone to start getting in their selections of books that they would like to read for next year. You can drop them off at the front desk of the library or e-mail them through to me at david.manchip@campbelltown.nsw.gov.au or just leave a comment on the blog.
Due to the high demand for Book Club we will be setting up another group at Minto Library. If you have any friends that would be interested please let them know and keep an eye out for the publicity in the Library for a starting date. (most likely in the new year)
Unfortunately there are still no vacancies at Campbelltown Library for book club also with there is a large waiting list. Eaglevale and Ingleburn libraries have only a couple of vacancies also.
If anyone has any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me on 46454415 or by the e-mail above.
Cheers
Dave

join the club!
Campbelltown Library Service has recently introduced two new book clubs - at Eagle Vale and Ingleburn branch libraries.
Joining a reading group can help to extend your reading, as you'll be tempted to try different types of books that you might not otherwise have chosen by yourself. Many people can become accustomed to the comfort of reading in a favourite genre and may not realise how much they might actually enjoy an altogether different type of book, until they are persuaded to try by other members of the reading group.
Last but not least, book clubs are great social forums, and provide many opportunities to meet and befriend new people from all walks of life, as well as providing an enjoyable and meaningful addition to your social calendar. So if you are after some lively and interesting discussion, then join one of the Campbelltown library bookclubs.
Eagle Vale Library commencing on:
Tuesday 30th March and will meet at 10.30am until 11.30am
Ingleburn Library commencing on:
Friday 26th March and will meet at 10.30am until 11.30am
For details, call Eagle Vale Library on 4645 4266 or Ingleburn Library on 9605 5336.
Cheers

Welcome Back!
Hello and welcome to 2010!
I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas and New Year.
The photos included in this months blog are from the last meeting of 2009 which had a great turnout, with lots of lively discussion, good food and plenty of laughter had by everyone involved. Especially popular was the idea of bringing in a present for another member of the Book Club which consisted of a book of your choice.
The first meeting of the year for both the day and night group will be held on the 24th February at the library.
The day groups first title for the year will be Breath by Tim Winton while the night group will be reading The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas. If you would like any further information on either the titles or the authors please follow the links attached.
With the popularity of the Book Club at Campbelltown Library we have decided to expand to our Ingleburn and Eaglevale branches. If you would like any further information or would like to book your spot please contact the respective branches or myself and Carolyn ASAP as spaces are limited.
Regards
David
