FRIENDS NEWS
After almost 32 years of supporting our
library we say a big "Thank You" to our
Friends of the Barossa Library Group. The
Friends have decided to take a pause in
their get togethers for the time being, to
step back and focus on other important
things. In the meantime, you will still see
many of them visiting the library and
volunteering from time to time at various
events and library ventures. We thank
them for their tireless work and passion for
the Barossa Libraries and Barossa
community. Without them, much of what
we have set out to do would not have
been achieved. Their support and
advocacy has been greatly appreciated.
We look forward to still staying in touch
and hopefully re-instating the group one
day in the future.
FAREWELL TANIA PAULL
2021 is the start of change for many and with that we say
farewell to our wonderful Library Manager.
Following a busy and rewarding nine years here in the Barossa,
Tania Paull, our Library and Heritage Manager, is moving to the
bustle of the city, with a sea breeze, at the City of Holdfast Bay
Council. Tania’s extensive expertise and experience will be an
asset in her role as Manager Customer Experience and Library
Services.
Tania’s dedication and hard work has seen, amongst many
things, the refurbishments at our library branches at Lyndoch, Mt
Pleasant, Angaston and Tanunda, and the implementation of
the RFID (radio frequency identification) system you see when
borrowing and returning items. Tania’s enthusiasm has been
instrumental in the formation and success of the Regional
Heritage Network, supporting the preservation of our Barossa
heritage across the community and promotion of heritage
tourism. Tania has given freely of her time to many corporate
and community events, a regular volunteer at the Barossa
Regional Gallery and supporter of the Friends of the Library.
Over a dinner table, full of stories and reminiscences, library staff
have thanked Tania for her guidance, support and friendship,
wishing her well in her new role.

Tech Help sessions which run for 30-45
minutes. Sessions are catered to your

support and tutoring to help you on your
way. Sessions are generally held at our
Nuriootpa Library, however, we are
available to visit you at our other libraries
(Angaston, Tanunda, Lyndoch, Mt
Pleasant). Bookings are essential. To
book your FREE Tech Help session, please
phone the library (8563 8440) or speak to
staff at the desk.
Tech Savvy Seniors
Are you over 65 years old and do you
find technology a real challenge? You
are invited to enroll in our Tech Savvy
Seniors classes. Small group sessions
designed for older people to develop
the skills and confidence to use
technology for socialising, personal
business and accessing important
services.
Each session covers a new topic;
including Facebook, my Gov app, my
Health Record, setting up an email,
online shopping and much more.
It is also a great opportunity to make
some new friends and learn together.
