Library provides spot for groups

Local clubs and groups have a new promotional tool to attract new members and publicise their activities, thanks to Warkworth Library and the local Men’s Shed.

A large, glazed noticeboard for the library’s outside wall has been made, which will be filled with postcard-sized ads for community, sports, hobby and interest organisations operating in the wider Warkworth area.

The idea for the board came after more than 200 people attended a successful Group & Clubs Information Day at the town hall in July.

Senior library assistant for community engagement Katie Mitchell says while more club information days will be held in future, the noticeboard will provide a permanent place for locals and visitors to find out what groups and societies operate in the area.

There is a one-off fee of $10 to advertise on the noticeboard, which will be used to cover the cost of materials used by Warkworth Men’s Shed to build the board.

“All groups have to do is send their details to me and I’ll put it on a postcard so everything is uniform and easy to read,” Katie says.
