It's just unbelievable how busy we seem to be lately. Doesn't give me much time to post anything on facebook. However, we've now held our thank you to volunteers lunch and have honoured one of our hardest working volunteers with Life Membership. Here's Ken Stephen after receiving his award. Ken spends usually 3 days a week at the library indexing the Toowoomba Chronicle which is presently indexed to 1990. Well done Ken.
