World Environment Day

World Environment Day is coming up this Saturday, 5th June. So before you go to the Mosman Village Art and Craft Market and pick up some great reads at the Library Winter Book Sale, why not head to Mosman Art Gallery for a fantastic workshop on recycling and art.

Come along

We still have some places available for the Travelling Pants workshop next week.

We will be decorating a pain of jeans that will then travel around New South Wales going from Library to Library, each Library adding their decorations to the jeans. So come along and be a part of the fun!

We will also be making denim bookmarks for you to take home.

Book now!

Re-Picture Australia

Picture Australia is looking for clever artists to download and mash up photos from their collection to create new art. Here is the info and here are some examples on Flickr. You can be funny, clever, artistic or political.
From Re-Picture Flickr group page: ‘In conjunction with the National Library of Australia, Canberra Contemporary Art Space (CCAS) is planning an online exhibition of selected works from the Re-Picture Australia Flickr group in 2009’
So check out the web site and get those creative juices flowing.

Happy New Year

If your New Year’s resolution is to go green in ’08, Mosman Library can help you out.

‘Green is the New Black’ is a great new book by Tamsin Blanchard available at the Library. It is about how to ‘change the world with style’. From recycle fashion to ethical shopping this book covers it all.

Plus, Tamsin has a great blog with lots of fun tips on how to be fashionable without damaging the planet. Check out this amazing t-shirt you can download and make for yourself.
