Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
On Thursday 12th March, Zonta Club of Whitsundays had its annual book donation, which was marked by a morning tea at Cannonvale Library.
The Zonta team gathered to mark the occasion with Cr Jan Clifford coming to show her support.
The initiative was revamped in 2021 after the team noticed that the Zonta Section at the library hadn’t been updated for some time. Since then, Zonta have been donating new books and 2026 marks the fifth year of the collection in its new form. Since 2021, at least 30 books have been added each year.
The books are sourced by Secretary Janice Lake using a number of resources. Choices are made based on sources such as ABC Book Club, Booker Prize Long List and Women’s Authors Award with purchases made from the State Library bookshop and private bookshops.
The collection contains books from a range of topics including ‘self-help’, memoirs and general fiction with a focus on Australian and women authors, however it is not exclusive and encompasses a wide range of writers.
The club hopes that the Zonta Section will provide something for anyone looking for a good ‘read’.
