Week 5 - Contribute to the wiki + Adventure!

Hi all,
It's been a little while since I've logged on but I have added to the NSW Learning 2.0 Wiki as well as doing searches of my local area in Wikipedia. I also contributed to Wikipedia by adding my library as a Place of Interest. Below is a copy of my contribution - I will keep a watch on the article to see whether it remains the same...

Dapto Library
Dapto Library is located within (on Level 1) the Dapto Ribbonwood Centre on the Princes Hwy (near Dapto Mall and McDonalds). The easiest way to access the library is to enter via the main entrance on the Princes Hwy. There is parking available in the Moombara St car park. A second car park is available in Heininger Street.

The library is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 10am to 8pm; Wednesday 1pm to 8pm; Friday 10am to 6pm; and Saturday 9am to 12noon.

Library membership is free to residents of the Wollongong City Council area. Proof of current address is essential. Reciprocal membership (free) is also available to NSW residents able to provide proof of current address as well as membership of their local library. Persons under the age of 18 years require a parent or guarantor to be present to join the library.

Library membership entitles you to use the Internet services (for research and information) free of charge. PCs are also available for Email, Chat & Word Processing facilities for a nominal fee. Visitors to Dapto Library are also able to use these facilities (proof of home address is required).

You may borrow :

Books (Fiction and Non Fiction), Magazines, Comics, DVDs, CDROMs, HSC resources, Videos, Audiobooks, Literacy resources, Music CDs.

PS2 and Board Games are also available for use in the library.

Activities for Children

Regular activities are held for children. These include:

Born to Read - a literacy program specifically designed for babies aged 0 to 24 months. This 10-week program exposes baby to language, books and rhymes. Bookings are essential.

Preschool Storytime - a free FUN hour of stories, songs, rhymes and craft specifically for preschool children. Preschool Storytime is held every Friday at 10.30am during school term. Bookings are not essential.

After School Activities - a free FUN program held on the last Tuesday of each month (during school term) at 4pm. After School Activities are specifically aimed at four to ten year olds but come along and give it a try!

THanks for your comment. The Lane Cove Library is in a state of destruction at the moment. Seriously!
