Next year my family have lived in Banyule for 50 years. I am now 80 years and have been an avid reader since childhood, my family share this passion.
The library has been an important focus from school projects, special interests, reference, discussions and leisure.
I love books, the jacket, capturing your interest, the design, type face, margins, the “smell” of newness or age.
Congratulations Rosanna on your 40th Anniversary of dedicated service and introducing young and old to the magic world of books and reading.

‘I am very happy today because 13 years ago I found the Rosanna Library situated in a beautiful environment. The tall trees surrounding it became a great place to soothe my anxious day, because I had become a widow and a senior with middle aged children, life had become very boring. Meeting the friendly helpful staff helped me a lot to overcome my loneliness. Now today my life is wonderful. I have read many books, have become a much better person because of our wonderful library. So we can all celebrate the 40th Anniversary together. I thank you all staff and Banyule Council.’
