Book Week Next Week – Book Parade Thursday
Next week, Tuesday 28 October – Friday 31 October, is Book Week. Our Book Fair will be available in the Library 8:15am – 9:15am each morning and from 2:45pm in the afternoon. There’s some great books – perfect for gifts and Christmas presents. Pop in and see what takes your fancy – eftpos is available.
Starting from next Tuesday 28th October we will have a lunch ordering service available every day with New World Warkworth via Ezlunch. Orders close 9am on the day of delivery for everything except sushi (which has a 2pm 1-day prior cut off time.) It’s easy, convenient, and open 24/7.
