Shelia Metcalfe from the RFDS came to Tuggerah and spoke to some enthusiastic patrons about the service. Everyone had a good time and stood around after the talk reminiscing about their own RFDS experiences over tea and ANZAC biscuits.

Easy to Find Family History info
We have reorganised the Family History section at Tuggerah Library to make it easier to find those research items. Colour coding has been placed on cemetery, parish registers, shipping, musters, immigration and convict records. These have also been grouped together in the specific colours, making them much easier to locate. A separate Central Coast family history area has been created for quick access to items specifically about the Gosford and Wyong areas. Of course, we have free access to Ancestry.com, a vital resource for any family historian. So come in for a look and start your research!
Happy 80th Birthday, Royal Flying Doctor Service
To celebrate the 80th birthday of the wonderful Royal Flying Doctor Service, Sheila Metcalfe will be at Tuggerah Library on Monday 26th May @ 10.30am to discuss its history, services and the people it assists. Come along and join in the celebration!

Something to MUSE about @ Lake Haven Library
MUSE is a group for young adults, aged between 12 and 18, that meet at Lake Haven Library every second Wednesday between 3.30 and 5pm. Over the occasional slice of pizza, members of the group discuss things that they have written or read recently. So, if you want to kill some time after school, ask about MUSE. Members talk about lots of themes relating to books, including fantasy, horror, romanticism, gothic, adventure and historical fiction.
- In conjunction with MUSE, a creative writing workshop will be held at Lake Haven Library on May 21st for $5 per person. Bookings are essential as numbers are limited. Ph 4392 7843 for more information.
