Friends of the Library December 2015 eNewsletter

Welcome

It’s hard to believe the end of the year is upon us and we are now in the serious countdown to Christmas!

I have been delighted to once again host a wonderful 2015 events programme that included fascinating presentations on a wide range of topics, from Opera on the Gold Coast to social robots in aged care.

We are now planning our 2016 events programme and hope to once again deliver a diverse range of presentations including health, science and innovation, the Commonwealth Games and, of course, our annual Masters and Slaves!

Thank you to all our Friends for your support throughout 2015 and I look forward to seeing you in 2016.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season.
