...Dear Claremont Library Staff,<br /> I really feel for you! It must be absolutely devastating losing everything, including all the personal and work resources that you've been collecting for so many years. <br /><br />Claremont Library was a beautiful library. I used to love going in there. <br /><br />Congratulations on making the best of a terrible situation. I hope that Claremont Library rises like the phoenix from the ashes and is even better than before.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Sarah<br />Local History Librarian<br />Joondalup LibraryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999937336810544807.post-67624223751386701482010-11-23T19:00:55.249-08:002010-11-23T19:00:55.249-08:00Dear everyone at Claremont

I am so pleased that no one was hurt. I'm sure that all libraries are thinking and talking about you as we are in Swan libraries. Wishing you all the best for your continuation and rebuildingHairy Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699788968983167615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999937336810544807.post-6412213198393430592010-11-23T18:46:14.209-08:002010-11-23T18:46:14.209-08:00Hi my name is Hoi and I learned how to catalogue t...Hi my name is Hoi and I learned how to catalogue the DVDs and CDs inside one of the 'librarian office' at Claremont Library few years ago.
