Jolly Jumbuck
The Jolly Jumbuck was a unique travelling story telling service for Victorian country children. Funded by the Library Promotion Council, the Jolly Jumbuck was a bus fitted out with a pull-down puppet theatre, audio tapes, a book collection for storytelling, shadow and hand puppets, and could hold sixty children (though often squashed beyond capacity, such was its popularity). Initially the bus drove to country centres, where contents of the bus would empty into various rooms in the library or school visited, so that the children could be introduced to the maximum book-related activities during the visit. Local librarians and teachers would operate activities in different rooms while the staff employed to operate the Jumbuck told stories to halls full of children. Children were also encouraged to perform their own plays with the hand and shadow puppets.
The driver of the Jolly Jumbuck was Trevor Primmer, whose character and performing abilities quickly became a trademark of the Jolly Jumbuck. Initially employed to drive the bus, Trevor's enthusiasm soon saw him juggling and clowning, thus creating an extraordinary rapport with any audience. The success of the Jolly Jumbuck reflects the exuberant enthusiasm for live storytelling for both performers and audience. The Jolly Jumbuck folded in 1989.

Through February 2008
Eladrienne Laval's real life background as an artist and a student of History guides her SL design work, and her experience with the fabric arts informs both eye and her design choices.
This exhibit explores Miss Laval's creations from source image though design and construction, and places them in the context of her inspirations from Victorian art and Fashion. A section of the exhibit looks at one of Miss Laval's favorite designers, Charles Frederick Worth, the father of haute couture. Caledon Library curator Siri Woodget has collaborated with Miss Laval to supplement the exhibit with materials on one of Worth's famous patrons, Isabella Stewart Gardner.Indeed, the exhibit features the unveiling of a new item of SL couture! Especially for this exhibit, Miss Laval has created an in-world re-imagined version of one of Mrs. Gardner's favorite dresses by Worth.
The Caledon Library would like to extend its thanks to the Isabella Stewart Gardenr Museum of Boston, Massachusetts, for its kind permission to use materials relating to the life of Mrs. Gardner
This is the building where I started my working life in September 1963. It had formerly been a Baptist Chapel but was then the local branch of Shropshire County Library.
It was on the corner of Stafford Road and Slaney Street and I was delighted to find it still standing 50 years later.

In July, 2000, Arbroath Flower Club made many wonderful displays in Arbroath library depicting various interests in the town. Pictured at one of the displays were some of the ladies whose creations are on show, they were, from left - Chris McEwan, Margaret Ramsay, Lisabeth McEwan and Noreen McBay.
The library was proud to host the "Too Cool To Smoke" program by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Kids learned the dangers of smoking in an interactive and entertaining program.
This is what was going on behind the sealed off half on the ground floor in June and July 2011.
The public could still use the library on the other side of the partition wall - there was a temporary enquiry desk and the stock was re-arranged.
