November 5th might be best remembered for trouble brewing but we'll stick to the tea! Free cuppas from 10-12 noon at the library then make your own fireworks at Lego lunch from 1pm. No booking required

To celebrate Halloween, we thought we'd share this engraving from 'On the Fabric of the Human Body' by anatomist Andreas Vesalius (1543), which adorns our Book Collection Room at the Cairns Library.

We may or may not have doctored the image!
