( 3 / 578 )How to have a beautiful mind
by Edward De Bono
Call No 753.35/DEBO
So many of us spend huge amounts of time and money on trying to make ourselves beautiful and appealing on the outside, but forget that it is what we say and how we say it that makes us interesting to others and ultimately holds their attention.
Edward De Bono has once again brought us a self help book with a difference.
In his ‘How to have a beautiful mind’ De Bono discusses techniques that can be learned by anyone, techniques that will ultimately achieve a “makeover for your mind.”
This book provides the conversationally challenged with the means to “impress people with simple conversational tactics.”
Whether you want to impress, generally lack confidence or know of some one who lacks conversational etiquette, you may want give this one a try.
As always, on display and available for loan at Grafton Campus Library
Cheers everyone,
Have a great weekend!

The theme is ‘Everyone Belongs’, and the staff at Grafton Campus Library invite you to show your support, & help us celebrate the many cultures that make up our wonderfully diverse country.
Officially Harmony Day is held on the 21st March, but we invite you to wear orange, wear an ‘Everyone Belongs’ badge or both on

( 3 / 577 )Hi again,
It is the time again for the book of the week.
This one is for all those wannabe superheroes (yes, you too, superman)
The life and times of the Thunderbolt Kid
by Bill Bryson
Call no. 910.4092/BRYS
If you have read any thing by Bill Bryson in the past, then you probably need little convincing of the sheer entertainment value gained from reading one of his books. If you have not, it is never too late to start.
Bill Bryson has the knack of transforming what may be seen by others as just ordinary places, events or situations into something exuberant, highly entertaining and memorable. ‘ The life and times of Captain Thunderbolt ‘, an account of his own childhood during the 1950’s small town America, is no exception.
If you are a ‘Baby Boomer’ then you will appreciate the nostalgia as well as the humour, but this book can definitely be enjoyed by all.
As always this book is on display at Grafton Campus Library and is available to all staff and students.

Are you looking for some light reading - adventure, mystery and a few giggles here and there? Then you may like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series of books. I believe she has written fourteen of these now, and your library has most of them.
In the first novel, One for the Money , Stephanie has lost her job and is down on her luck. Then she has a job offer from her low-life cousin Vinnie who runs a bail-bond company. She has to bring in sexy Joe Morelli, a policeman turned outlaw. However, she is in great danger from Benito Ramirez, a murderous prize-fighter. Will Joe be able to help her?
Janet Evanovich's characters are eccentric and appealing and the action of her novels fast-paced - great for a relaxing read after a busy day at TAFE!
