In efforts to clean up my stuff (personal assets) I am going through my genealogy folders and of course I'm unearthing some treasures of times past that had faded from my memory
Back in 1970/1972 I was the Children's Librarian at Randwick Municipal Library (now Randwick City Library). In those days, when many schools did not have libraries on site we forged strong alliances with local schools and hosted regular visits from there classes. We also cooperated with neighbouring Municipal Libraries on several ventures. One of these that I had forgotten was a small publication, Children Writing.
With the Children's Librarians from Waverley and Woollahra Libraries and support from local schools in our areas we edited and published several issues of Children Writing. I cannot remember how many issues were published or what happened to the funds raised from its sale.

| Children Writing : Record on Trove |
When I fired up Trove this morning I was delighted to see that four Australian libraries hold copies of Children Writing a little project to which I made a contribution to over 50 years ago.
I grabbed my phone and took a few snaps of my copy of Issue 2, June 1971 this morning.
