We wish all our members a very happy festive season.
One of Australia's most awarded playwrights, Patricia Cornelius was the library's first writer-in-residence. In 2018 Patricia worked out of the library for a four-week period and a rehearsed reading of her play, In the Club, was held in the Athenaeum 2 for members. The reading was directed by Susie Dee and brought to life by a cast of six.
