Running from May 17-23, both Library and Information Week and Law Week are annual events aimed at highlighting the free resources available at public libraries.

The week of celebrations will kick off with a free workshop called Your Money and the Law on Monday, May 17 at 1.30pm.

ALSO MAKING NEWS:

Presented by Legal Aid Orange, Your Money and the Law will introduce the organisations and resources you can access to help with common money problems, such as like being chased for money, being owed money and borrowing money.

On Tuesday, May 18 at noon, Bathurst bookworms should not miss What to Read Next?, a workshop that will reveal the special tricks, tips and resources librarians use to help people decide what books they will enjoy.

This will be followed by a Bathurst Family History Group drop-in session from 1-3pm.

A highlight of the week will be the ever-popular National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday, May 19 at 10.45am.

This year's storytime promises to be out-of-this-world with a special guest reader, astronaut Dr Shannon Walker, who will be reading a book from the International Space Station.

All events except the Family History Group drop-in session require bookings as spaces are limited.
