Carols at Twilight

16 December 2010

Logan North Carols by twilight

A merry time was had by all at the Carols at Twilight, held at Logan North Library December 14. Members of the Brigalow Country Community Club provided the music, and the audience was in fine voice. Even one of the librarians joined in the carolling! A surprise visit from Santa meant the children could have their photos taken with him, and they all received a small gift.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Month 2010

16 September 2010

Another extremely successful ‘Sci-Fi and Fantasy’ August has wrapped up at Logan North Library. The ‘force’ was certainly with the many enthusiasts who attended the myriad of activities and workshops on offer over the month. Whether you entered the library via the Stargate or aboard the TARDIS, there was something on for everyone, from writing workshops, to lightsaber challenges, Rocketry sessions and craft activities.

Finale day was abuzz with the 1700+ people either participating in activities or enjoying an ‘out of this world’ atmosphere. Storm-troopers roamed the aisles, children were costumed as their favourite fantasy characters, and attendees were in awe of the realistic ghoulish and vampirish faces created by talented, professional
make-up artists.

Library staff were thrilled with the public response to their fourth annual event and plan to make Sci-Fi & Fantasy month August 2011 bigger and better than ever.

Twilight Competition

Chantelle Simon
‘Twilight has to be my favourite of the series simply because this is the book where I was introduced to a whole new world of make believe after long believing that make believe was for children. I now escape to this world often and am enveloped in this love story.’
– Chantelle Simon
