• We raise funds to help provide the library with resources e.g books,  audio books, Emagazines, large print books, DVDs and CDs
We have purchased a large projection screen system (to stream events like the Sydney Writers Festival), furniture, mural for the children's area and library shelving.

• We  provide the sole funding support for the early literacy baby book program at a cost of $5000 p.a. In all, a total of
