Mary Poppins

Welcome to the wonderful world of Blogging. As part of an education process at work we are learning how to create and post on blog sites. This is my first offering and as such is a naive attempt. Hopefully future efforts will be of some interest and validity.

Library Express

We have a marvellous innovation at Frankston Library Service called the Library Express. On Tuesday and Thursday you can borrow books at the Frankston Train Station to read on your train trip to and from work. You can return the items borrowed at the station or directly to the library. This service has proved extremely popular with our commuters and is helped along enormously by our fabulous staff member, Anne, the dedicated individual found at the station, rain, hail or shine at 6am each of those mornings. Go girl, you rock!
