No doubt most people have noticed all the Christmas decorations going up around town, around homes, shopping centres and of course here at Ultimo TAFE Library.

I am preparing for Christmas by buying presents family and friends, planning what to eat on Christmas Day and where I will go to celebrate this occasion. Spare a thought for those around you and I who are not as fortunate. Please donate a new toy or non perishable food item to the Ultimo TAFE Library Salvation Army Giving tree. See the poster below for further information.
