I take my passion for reading right back to Shakespeare—his use of words and language, I discovered him in high school. Today, I am doing some research and development for a play I am working on, it’s about Ludwig II of Bavaria. The staff are lovely here and I love the building itself. It has an indoor outdoor […]
I am borrowing a drawing book and some biographies based around musicians for my projects at school and my own pleasure, to get to know the musicians better. I borrowed the drawing book to improve my drawing. I enjoy reading dramatic stories based around life, growing up and dealing with certain situations. I sometimes read romances; […]
Basically, I’ll read anything that sparks my interest. My mother would always say that I should have been a cat because I am so curious. It’s like that with books and I read mainly non-fiction. I will pick up a book and if it seems interesting I’ll have a look. I have been a member here for […]
Just yesterday I was reading an article that mentioned a book I wanted to read. I just jumped online to find out if the book was in, where it was and if it is not online I can come in. They fill out a request form and find it for me. I get a message on my phone […]
I have exams in two weeks so I am here today to study. I am also returning the play Suddenly Last Summer by Tennessee Williams. We went last week to see the production at Sydney Theatre Company. I loved it and I will be reviewing it for my Drama individual project. I have only started coming to this library […]
I have been working in libraries for about eight years. I’ve always loved books and learning. When I was younger I was spending most of my time in libraries anyway so I figured I might as well get paid for it! As a librarian, I enjoy getting to know the locals and meeting people from all walks of life. I love […]
I come to this library every Saturday if I am able to. It’s been my routine for years since I moved to Kings Cross in 96. On my last visit I borrowed a book by Esther Freud – she is coming to the Opera House in March for the All About Women festival and Don Watson, who wrote The Bush: Travels in […]
This is my first visit to this library. I am on a working holiday from Canada but just got sponsored. Today I am borrowing Mind Gym and I am looking for a German language book. I do speak a little German, but I am wanting to learn more. I am also looking for something on Carl Sagan, the […]
I visited the library today to have access to the computers and to do some writing. I am entering a short story competition. It has taken me six weeks to finish my story—it’s about the Rum Rebellion. Writing is a hobby of mine. I come to this library almost every day.
I visit Customs House at least once a week—it is the most central library for us and today I took the ferry over. I like the location of the library and it is in the beautiful home of Customs House. Today I am borrowing books by crime writers, Anne Holt and Henning Mankell. At home […]
