BETWEEN THE<br />
DANCES, WORLD<br />
WAR II WOMEN TELL<br />
THEIR STORY<br />
Join author, Jacqueline Dinan for this<br />
enriching and informative book tour.<br />
Jacqueline has interviewed women<br />
around Australia who ‘did their bit’<br />
during WWII. They took part as<br />
nurses in war zones, members of the<br />
services, workers on the land and in<br />
factories, volunteers in community<br />
service, managers in organisations and<br />
housewives juggling a ration book.<br />
The session will be followed by an<br />
introduction to Museum in a Box,<br />
which highlights how local women<br />
were affected by the war.<br />

eSMART LAUNCH<br />
The City’s Library Service has<br />
become the first in Western<br />
Australia to be acknowledged as a<br />
cybersafety leader as part of a<br />
nationwide program.<br />
The Alannah and Madeline Foundation<br />
and the Telstra Foundation have<br />
officially recognised the City of<br />
Wanneroo Library Service as an eSmart<br />
library service, equipped to support<br />
its customers to use technology in a<br />
smart, safe and responsible way.<br />
eSmart Libraries is one of the most<br />
significant community cybersafety<br />
programs ever undertaken in Australia,<br />
with over 50 percent of all libraries<br />
currently involved in the program.<br />
A celebration event was held during<br />
Libraries and Information Week in<br />
May this year.<br />
