Monthly Book Chat

All book-lovers are welcome to come along to chat about books and reading, in an informal, social setting.

No set reading, just share your thoughts about which books you've loved, or not.  Peruse the newest books to the library.

First Tuesday of each month. 5pm to 6.30pm.

Broome's Mangoes, Muddies and Memories- Recipes and Recollections Community Project

Please enjoy a digital copy of our community book Broome's Mangoes, Muddies and Memories - Recipes and Recollections.

Mangoes, Muddies and Memories - Recipes and Recollections.(PDF, 20MB)

This book presents stories and recipes from the Broome community along with Library historical archive materials, including excerpts from historic cookbooks, menus from memorable restaurant and archival photographs.

Whether it’s our love of ‘catch and cook’, dealing with the bounty of our seasonal gardens, enjoying our food festivals, a treat from the community markets, or sharing food with family and friends, food is a community connector.

Enjoy!
