Have you ever had a great idea for a T.V. show?

Meet John Richards, director and co-writer of ABC 1's six part comedy series Outland.

John will discuss the peaks and pitfalls of writing for TV, and the long process of bringing Outland to the small screen.  It's a great opportunity to get some tips from someone in the know about how to bring your own ideas to life!

This event is a must for anyone interested in film and television production.

Book online or call 1300655355.

Have fun with your baby and remember songs, finger plays and rhymes from your childhood.

Songs and rhymes provide many lifelong benefits to help your child with their language and develop an appreciation for rhyme and rhythm.

For children aged 0 - 2 years.

The Love 2 Read Blanket is back by popular demand...

We are celebrating the National Year of Reading by combining two great joys; the magic of literature and the pleasure of knitting.

Bring along your knitting needles (4mm) and wool (8 ply) and listen to a librarian read aloud as you knit a square to contribute to our Love 2 Read blanket which will be donated to the Save the Children Campaign. 

Light refreshments will be provided.  Book online or call 1300655355.

N.B.  If you can't make it on the night but would like to contribute a knitted square, just hand it in at your local branch by 29 September.  You can find the instructions at http://www.savethechildren.org.au/emergency/borntoknit/how-to-knit/

Pop culture is saturated with vampire characters.  From the incredibly popular Sookie Stackhouse novels which inspired the equally popular True Blood TV series, to the teen fiction sensation that was the Twilight saga, vampires feature in countless books, films and songs. 

Narrelle Harris (who has authored her own vampire novel, The Opposite of Life) will talk about the history of the vampire novel and the different metaphors vampires present in fiction.
