ALIA Retirees WA visit to the new Fremantle Public Library - 12 December 2022
Interestingly we had visited the old Fremantle Public Library premises in November 2016:
We decided to squeeze in one more library visit before Christmas was upon us, so off we went to the new Fremantle Public Library where library staff members Leanne Thorp, Margo Kopsen and Local History Officer Stewart Alger gave us an informed tour. As you can see from the pic below, the new location in this modern building looks a bit different:
As does the interior, from this:

ALIA Retirees WA visit to the Belmont Library & Museum - 21 October 2022
We would like to think that we are now back in touch with each other, and given the challenges in trying to find a day that works for all, 7 of us were able to visit this newly constructed library and its adjoining museum. Nicole Richards, the Coordinator of the Library and Museum Hub, gave us a well guided tour through the premises and as you can see from the pics, what a different place it is!

And as we had the essential coffee after the tour we are now planning out Christmas 2022 event.
