‘Getting Started’ Family History Workshop
Wednesday 8 September 5:30pm
Genealogical research is a popular pursuit for many Territorians, and our helpful Library staff will help you to get started tracing your family tree and accessing information relating to your ancestry.
There are many resources available to help you find details to really flesh out the stories of family members. In this workshop we will show you how to access common and not-so-common sources to gather information about your family.

Bonding, Bopping and Books
Bonding, Bopping and Books is an arts-based community library program, focusing on active learning. This program which has just commenced in Angurugu, Groote Eylandt will encourage shared creative play involving family members and young children. Emphasis will be on listening and responding to music, visual art, dance, literature and multimedia, as a foundation for early literacy and numeracy learning, and an important step towards school-readiness.Family members, together with local library staff, will have the opportunity to share with each other favourite early childhood resources and play-based activities that support early learning. Families will be introduced to additional early learning opportunities which aim to build both English and digital literacy skills, ready for their children’s transition to school learning. NT Library is collaborating with existing early childhood services to ensure that Bonding, Bopping and Books complements and extends the local services in Angurugu.
