Melbourne Cup Book Sweep

 
It's on again. Borrow a mystery book (themed of course) from Bowral Library and  keep it until after the race that stops a nation has been run and won.
Then... if you're lucky... if you're a winner... we'll contact you!
So, it's win win - you may even find your next favourite author.

Do you have a secret?


 



I mean about reading.
What you read.
Where you read.
When you read.
Not a guilty secret, just a little something you like to keep to yourself.
If
 "A real secret is something which only one person knows”
Idries Shah, Reflections
is true, then we have no secrets in the library.
You may find a secret or two in your family history
You may hide your titles with eMags or eBooks
You may agree with author Kate Morton, The Forgotten Garden
“That, my dear, is what makes a character interesting, their secrets.”
However, we like to share our secrets. Our favourite books to read. Our favourite spots to read.
You don't even need a secret code, just your library card number and pin (well, that's supposed to be a little bit secret).
So while we may agree with Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife , “I never understood why Clark Kent was so hell bent on keeping Lois Lane in the dark.”, we don't want you to be in the dark with your library. Visit us in person or online.
