2. EVENTS • 'Salu-salo ng Kaalaman' Wednesday 13th of June - An event organised with the

Library Manager to meet the incoming councillors. The event included a tour of the Library, a speech by the Library Manager and questions from the councillors.

• Soul Food Thursday 21st of June - An event organised in conjunction with the local Baha'i community. This event was held in the Andy McNeill room and included live music, a slide show of images, readings and supper.

• Ros Moriarty author talk Thursday 28th of June - Ros Moriarty the author of Listening to Country is coming to Alice Springs as part of the National Year of Reading. Nadine Maloney interviewed Ros 'Parky style.'

• Upcoming: Mikeita is planning her next event which is a fun family craft day at the Library for NAIDOC.

3. CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH SERVICES • School holiday program: the program for June - July is smaller that usual due to

current work taking place on the management of the collection. Highlights of the program are: a writing workshop with author Greg Bastian, Rex from the Reptile Centre and reptiles, Story Trail, and Glee and Games Night for youth.

• Deadly Horror Movie Nights: these will resume in August, and continue on a monthly basis. There has been more feedback from youth who attended the last movie night, with a request to hold another one soon.

4. DISPLAYS/EXHIBITIONS • Love Bites Thursday 14th of June - An exhibition of posters and an afternoon

tea: The Love Bites exhibition is a culmination of the Spread Respect campaign targeting young people in the NT. The Library hosted the afternoon tea and displayed the posters. The various school groups that were involved gave speeches about what they had learned through the campaign and what they enjoyed most about it.

5. SPECIAL COLLECTIONS • Kathryn took the opportunity to operate a display and deliver a presentation at

the June First Friday event at IAD. This was a good opportunity to present the library's Local Languages collections to linguists, readers and educators. Since then the library has been assisting IAD with a scoping study on Aboriginal language learning resources.

• Community Stories Still waiting for PC. Mikeita and Kathryn received more training on Community Stories at recent RIPIA workshops but still unable to implement prdject. Other communities have had some success with interactive Indigenous community histories using Ara Iritja software platform. RIPIA team would be willing to assist with Community Stories PC set-up.

• Mikeita is working on the Akaltye Antheme to improve this area by narrowing down the collection to 5 main topics so that they are easier for Indigenous

.3/

patrons to access plus continuously mending and cleaning helps to preserve these items.

COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGER LEON TRIPP

I. PUBLIC ART • Elliat Rich and Pip McManus have now been engaged to work collaboratively

on developing a rough master plan of conceptual designs for the relocated entrance and environs of the Library. They will present their concepts at the August 1 meeting of PAAC.

ALICE SPRINGS TUITION PROGRAM • Enrolments are in for this year's program and numbers are considerably down

from last year with 13 students participating. The program will be evaluated after its conclusion with Ben Hutton from Centralian Senior College to identify the possible reasons for fewer numbers this year.

3. SCOPING STUDY INTO THE EARLY CHILDHOOD SUPPLY AND DEMAND NEEDS FOR ALICE SPRINGS • This document is now a public document and has been distributed through

the Alice Springs Child Care Stakeholders Network and other relevant organisations.

• Braitling Child Care Centre was identified within the report as being capable of increasing its childcare places by 20 through the closing in of an existing verandah area, making it the most desirable option to alleviate the current childcare crisis particularly for the 0-24 month cohort. Negotiations are underway with the Braitling Centre Management Committee and DEEWR around the desirability and practicability of progressing this option.
