Be the Hero, be the Villain at Isaac Libraries this summer!

Isaac Libraries invites children and families to discover heroes, villains, sidekicks and more in the Summer Reading Club (SRC) this school holidays.

Summer Super heroes: Julia and Eve Collins ready for adventure this school holidays in the Summer Reading Club.

The SRC is a free online and in-library holiday program run from December 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017.

“The fun continues online with plenty of opportunities to keep young readers inspired and win great prizes!

“Blog with Australian Children’s Laureate, Leigh Hobbs and popular children’s author, Deborah Abela, search for answers to Encyclopaedia Britannica’s sponsored quiz, craft an ending to Mick Elliot’s story starter and lots more.

“SRC Club members can also meet 21 new Australian authors and illustrators online and preview their newly released titles.”

The SRC is delivered nationally, giving participants the opportunity to connect with reader’s right across the country.

The program is run in partnership with State Library of Queensland, the Australian Library and Information Association, and the Australian Public Library Alliance.

Last year over 48,000 Australian children registered for the SRC and collectively read more than 333,000 books.

Wanton, Wild & Unimagined Invading your imagination Moranbah Coalface Art Gallery is the first stop on the national tour of Wanton, Wild & Unimagined, a playful exhibition that stirs the imagination and evokes reflection.

Townsville environmental artist, Alison McDonald has spent many hours manipulating the humble plastic bottle.

Collecting thousands of lids, McDonald makes a variety of creations of sculptured recycled plastics.

“My inspiration is plants, oceans and John Wyndham’s 1951 post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, The Day of the Triffids,” she said.

“Humans have long had a love affair with plastic, believing it to be the answer to our eco-prayers.

“My artworks reuse plastic materials to raise questions about the relationship we have with plastic and its sustainability.”

“The highly anticipated exhibition will be shown in 12 galleries throughout Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria,” Dr McBurnie, Director of Umbrella Studio, said.

“It’s bound to fascinate adults and children alike. It invites close encounters with the work, which is kooky, imaginative and, most of all, fun.”

Wanton, Wild & Unimagined exhibition launch Alison McDonald will attend the exhibition launch on Thursday, December 1 at 7pm to meet gallery visitors and to give a floor talk. Adults and children are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP by email to Anne.Marie.Loeskow@isaac.qld.gov.au or phone 4846 3432 or 0439 174 373.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said it’s a major coup to have an exhibition of this calibre make Isaac its first stop on national tour.

“Alison McDonald is an outstanding artist, sharing an important message and we are proud to be hosting her exhibition launch in the Coalface Art Gallery.”

Curator Ross Searle said McDonald is greatly influenced by her location in the tropical north of Queensland.

“Plastic makes up the majority of marine debris not only seen on northern shorelines but floating in oceans worldwide.

“The work draws attention to cynical and apathetic consumer culture. There is also great humour in the way these playful transformations engage our senses.”

Don’t play with fire Isaac residents are being urged to be vigilant with a high and very high fire danger rating across the region.

Isaac Local Disaster Management Group Chair and Isaac Mayor Anne Baker said November has been dry and warm and temperatures have been reaching high thirties.

“Don’t play with fire; the risks are too high under these conditions.

“Unattended or mismanaged fires may create sparks and cause fires to spread quickly.

“I urge residents to be alert and report any vegetation fires to Triple Zero (000) immediately.”

There has been an increase in fire activity in parts of the region with a vegetation fire currently near Suttor Development Road being monitored by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES).

Residents should take time to prepare their properties for bushfires by: •

finalising Bushfire Survival Plans.

•

removing leaf litter from yards

•

clearing gutters

•

staying up to date with bushfire warnings

“Do not wait for the worst to happen. Lower the risk to your family and community,” Mayor Baker said.

“Bushfires can threaten anyone not just bushfire prone areas. All residents can stay up to date with all current bushfire activity.”

Visit the Rural Fire Service Website, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) social media pages or tune into local radio.

Visit www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au to locate your local fire warden, view the daily fire danger rating and prepare a Bushfire Survival Plan.

THE

GOLDEN RULES OF

Kerbside Recycling

1 4

Stay Loose Recycling goes into the bin loose – never in a plastic bag, and keep other soft plastic out too* #.

2 5

Keep It Clean-ish Recycling does not need to be spotless – just scrape of solid food and give it a quick rinse.

These rules apply to almost everyone but of course some people have to bend ‘em!

* A handful of councils have special kerbside systems for these items. #

Soft plastics and bags can be dropped off at many supermarkets.

So you think you can recycle, right?

Follow these Six Golden Rules to make sure you’re doing the right thing.

Easy Does It Paper, cardboard, glass jars and bottles, metal cans and aerosols, cartons and rigid plastics are easy to recycle and accepted in almost all kerbside collections.

Drop ‘Em Off Kerbside systems cannot separate items like mobiles, computers, batteries and printer cartridges – find local drop off services*.

To find out what’s in and what’s out in your area visit

3

Into the Garbage Crockery, window and drinkware glass, polystyrene, plastic bags, nappies and food are the big baddies in the recycling – put them in the garbage*.

6 BONU

If in doubt Leave it out! Putting the wrong thing in the wrong bin can ruin your good recycling efforts.
