Significant Libraries Network activities August 2011: • Cairns Flying Fox Expo was held on the front lawn of the City Library. The Expo followed on from the
Flying Fox Summit which was held at the Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort. Organised by CRC in conjunction with the Wet Tropics Management Authority, the Expo provided the public with the opportunity to obtain professional information and advice on flying foxes. There were stalls, face painting and children’s craft activities. The flying fox interpretive sign was then officially launched at the Expo by Mayor Val Schier. The Library also had a display in the library which featured flying fox facts and books from the library’s collection.

In all, 75 children came through on the library tour where they discussed differences between fiction and non-fiction, various library services and fun databases such as Intrepica.
