November 2009 - FOBL buys books for Balmain Library

FOBL has raised a substantial sum of money so to celebrate the recent refurbishment and expansion of Balmain Library we held a Book Boost. Over two days residents chose $10,000 worth of books from a huge stock provided by Hill of Content bookshop at a substantial discount. These have now been added to the library's collection. FOBL's label is inside the front cover - an acknowledgement of the community's involvement in this donation.

Bookworm Magazine

Bookworm, our member magazine, is published four times a year coinciding with a Speaker Event. March 2010, the 40th edition, saw renowned journalist and media personality David Marr on the cover. The issue also contained the last in a series of three articles by inaugural Chair Helen Colman recounting FOBL's history. Balmain Library staff have a regular segment on activities and forthcoming events with individual staff members interviewed for our In Profile page.
