Welcome to a brand new month.

Last month the ALIA SNGG Team celebrated National Volunteer Week and Simultaneous Story Time. We added three brand new #LibraryTourism visits to Libraries and Archives NT, Charles Darwin University, Danala Library (NT) and Realm Library (VIC) to our Instagram and Facebook pages.

We welcome our brand new ALIA SNGG Social Media Coordinator Tammy De Zilva to the Instagram Team.

Join our ALIASNGGBookClub (Facebook) Group for our Weeks 5 – 8 discussion of Ash Barty ‘My Dream Time’.
