Scroll through for some close-ups from this amazing photo, including the site where Sam Merrifield Library and the Civic Centre now stand, and the rotunda that used to be in Queens Park. Can anyone identify what the pale area north of the lake was used for? It is now a school sports field.

View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibrariesWhat a fantastic way to celebrate World Environment Day at Avondale Heights Library! 🚛🌏
We welcomed 67 children, along with their parents and carers, for a special Garbage Truck Storytime filled with stories, songs, and hands-on learning about recycling and caring for our environment.
The kids enjoyed meeting a real garbage truck driver, learning what belongs in each bin, exploring a garbage truck up close, and taking home some fun sustainability-themed goodies.
It was lovely to see so many families join us, including some first-time visitors to the library. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make it a wonderful time! ♻️💚

View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibrariesA great evening with Emily Stewart at Niddrie Library!
What started as a talk about Emily`s book `Sensible Money` became a lively and open conversation about understanding finances and making confident choices. The discussion ranged from the Federal Budget to everyday money questions.
Many stayed on afterwards to chat with Emily and continue the conversation, making it a truly welcoming and engaging event.
Thank you to Emily and to everyone who joined us!
