In the 1930s, Girdwood ran a "hygienic library" here and in the 1980s Darrell sold vinyl and carpet. Now a cafe, the Hygienic Library sign is still visible above the door. Just a short walk from Flemington Library, near Newmarket station.

View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibrariesOur screening of the film `Joe Bell` (2020) has been rescheduled to Friday 6 February at 1pm, at Avondale Heights Library.
"A lot of people don`t think it`s a big deal to make fun of other people...who are different from you. You know, bullying and intolerance can have a deadly effect."
`Joe Bell` is the true story of a small town, working-class father who embarks on a solo walk across America to speak out against bullying after his son is tormented in high school for being gay. Starring Mark Wahlberg, this powerful film is a moving call for empathy, understanding and change. 🏳️🌈
89 mins. Rated M. Films are screened with subtitles where possible.
Free. Book now! Link in bio 🔗
