The Eastern Regional Library Show

Library staff member Lesley Conway runs a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.

On this week's show

Keeping up to date with Military History is as easy as receiving the bi-monthly newsletter which Alan Bennett at Croydon Library has begun producing. Alan plans to produce the newsletter a couple of weeks before his bi-monthly Military History Group session which happens at Croydon Library. (The next date by the way is Friday 28th of September, 2pm-4pm).

Alan says the interest in the group is huge, and the range of interests is broad, from the American Civil War to the Vietnam War, from Australian records to records for the Indian Army. In fact one of the wonderful things about a group like this is the knowledge that many people bring with them, which allows others to benefit from their expertise. There are two gentlemen who have in depth knowledge about the Indian Army for instance, and Alan is happy to be the go-between to put enquirers in contact with people or organisations which have specialised information.

The newsletter will keep you up-to-date with new databases and resources available at Eastern Regional Libraries branches, with workshops and talks, and also with current news stories which relate to aspects of military history.

If you would like to receive this newsletter either by mail or email:

Cheers, Maryanne
