ABOUT THIS ITEM

TitleNoosa Libraries : The first 50 years - 1973-2023 / Joe Hextall and Jane HardingPersonal AuthorHextall, Joe and Harding, Jane, SummaryLibraries have existed for thousands of years and in the twenty-first century, it's common to expect all communities to have a public library. Yet, the phenomenon of public libraries operated by local councils is a relatively modern one. Noosa Shire's first public library service was not established until 1973 - it was far from the first in Queensland but nor was it the last. It was not established proactively by Noosa Council but in response to significant lobbying and fundraising by a community committee. It was essentially created by the community, for the community and for five decades it has evolved its offerings to meet the needs of the Noosa community. This the story of Noosa Libraries first fifty years. [back cover]ImprintTewantin, QLD : Noosa Council, Â©2025Collation109 pages : colour photographics ; 30cmFormatBook
