Wagga City Library hosts Signup September

Claire Campbell said there is so much happening in the library.

"We have Language Cafe," she said. "It's for people to practise their English, and there are volunteers from the community who help out.

"It's really wonderful to see people sitting down and having a cup of tea and helping each other."

Ms Campbell said as technologies have rapidly adapted, libraries have been ahead of the times.

"We have been there helping people to learn computers, and we have had computers for people to use," she said.

"We have 24 public ones. If you have your own device, then you can use the wifi.

"You can download books, and you can stream movies, so the library has come a long way."

Ms Campbell said Signup September, which also includes all branches of the Riverina Regional Library, is the perfect time to become a part of the library community.

"It doesn't matter if you are coming for books, baby bounce, or to do research - come on down it's a free service," she said.

"People don't realise how much money they can save."

Dark Emu, written by Bruce Pascoe, has been one of the most popular books borrowed from the library this year.

"He has gone back and looked at First Nations people living on the land before white people," Ms Campbell said.

"So he's actually used all of the reports from the explorers to see that they were built houses, they tilled the land, so it makes you rethink history."

Other popular titles include the Barefoot Investor, and for children, Ms Campbell recommends the 117 Tree-Storey house.
