Exhibition: "Forgotten Faces" at Sam Merrifield Library
To coincide with our Chinese family history session the library will have on display the exhibition "Forgotten Faces: Chinese and the Law". This travelling set of displays has been put together by the Public Records Office and uses prison photographs and other documents from the late nineteenth century to tell the story of one aspect of Chinese immigrants in Australia. The exhibition will be on display at the Sam Merrifield Library from the 26th July to the 18th August 2010.

| News: | | Move allows Milleara Library to grow
Moonee Valley City Council has voted to relocate Milleara Library to the new Avondale Heights Community Learning Centre.
The decision follows extensive community consultation, during which a library advisory group was formed for residents to be part of the consultation process and surveys from 285 people were received.
The advisory committee was generally supportive of the move from Milleara Shopping Centre to Avondale Heights Community Learning Centre because it will allow a much larger collection, be on the ground floor and there will be more car parking.
It is anticipated the new library will open in September.
Calling all budding young artists - Burke & Wills art competition
The Essendon Historical Society is encouraging children aged 5-12 to enter their drawing or painting of the Burke and Wills Expedition camping at Moonee Ponds Reserve 1860 as part of an art competition to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the expedition. See the competition flyer for more details.
