Both Ingham and Halifax Libraries now boast very fast broadband internet connections for public use. 

The Internet remains FREE to use but printing charges apply (A4 - 22c B&W $1.65 Colour). 

It has been a long time coming but with assistance from the Council's IT Department we have got things up and running VERY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ingham Library has 4 terminals hooked up to broadband with one hour sessions available.

Halifax Library has 1 terminal hooked up to broadband with half hour sessions available.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding as you laboured away with dialup.

The Hinchinbrook Book Club has been meeting every two months during 2008, with it's inaugural meeting held during Library and Information Week 2008. Nine participants enjoy a general discussion about the current book club book and sharing their passion for reading. Many have found they share certain reading preferences and habits - piles of books beside beds, having several books on the go at  once and many hours of lost sleep - and are happy to recommend novels to each other.  All in all we have had a wonderful beginning to the Hinchinbrook Book Club! 

Members are now reading an Australian novel - Affection by Ian Townsend.

Readers interested in forming a second Book Club please contact the Ingham Library and, depending on interest, serious consideration will be given to forming a second club.

Suggested rules for running a group can be found at Book Clubs and interactive groups .
