NOT only is summer a time to celebrate Chinese New Year, it’s also the chance to get stuck into a good book.
And the best place to start is the Endeavour Hills Library, which held a special Community Purchasing Afternoon on Thursday 11 February, where books from the library’s Chinese collection were all on show.
Star News photographer STEWART CHAMBERS popped down to the library on Thursday to join in on the event.
