Levendale Community Library

On Thursday the 9th of December 2004 we witnessed the first anniversary of the community library. The library has come a long way in this last year, from a bare cloakroom with only 724 books to a thriving information centre for the local community who have enjoyed morning teas, meetings, computer classes to just having a coffee and a good read. Over one thousand books and videos have been booked out in the last year. Many residents visit the library on a regular basis who previously never came to the Levendale School. 

We were very fortunate to have the local author Rachael Treasure help open the library last year. Rachael again gave us some of her valuable time to help celebrate the library’s first anniversary and also promote her new book called  “The Stockmen”. The local residents were thrilled to be able to buy a copy and have Rachael sign it for them.

This was all celebrated with a wonderful afternoon of cheese and wine and listening to the story of Rachael’s life as a wife, mother, farmer and author.
