Congratulations to Cairns Libraries and the Cairns City Council for the opening of the fabulous new Stratford Library branch. Stratford is my local branch, so I was a keen attendee of the official launch on Friday 17 April. The guest speaker for the launch was Dr Alan Bundy, and he presented a wonderful speech on the role of libraries in modern communities. The paper he based his speech on is Places of Connection: New Public and Academic Library Buildings in Australia and New Zealand. Dr Alan Bundy is the former University Librarian for the University of South Australia and the current President of Friends of Libraries Australia.
