Events for the week beginning 1st June, 2008

  • Library Lounge featuring graphic novelist Nicki Greenberg

    When: 5 Jun 2008, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
    Location: Northcote Library

    Nicki Greenberg is a passionate reader, writer and artist.  Hear her speak about her graphic novel adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" and the writing and artistic processes. 

    Shaun Tan described her adapation as "Bizarre, absorbing and very funny, Nicki Greenberg casts a surrealist eye over Fitzgerald's world of careless money, social politics and misplaced ambition. It's a bold idea that works to great effect, where frivolous and monstrous natures are plain to see and enjoy, while all the while a much darker current flows ominously beneath the surface."

  • Chess Club

    When: Occurs from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM every 2 weeks on Friday, from 9 May 2008 until 20 Jun 2008

    Whether you are a master or a novice, learn more about the game with Bill Jordan, Melbourne Chess Club President. This is a great way to get out of the winter weather and enjoy a leisurely game or two. A tactile chess set is available for those with vision impairment.
