Dorrigo Library now has its very own book club! 📚

Unlike traditional book clubs, Dorrigo's Friday Book Club gives curious readers the chance to meet like‑minded folks and chat about books connected to a specific monthly theme or topic, rather than everyone reading the same book each time 💬🌟
Each month, the discussion is facilitated by library staff, and the book club is encouraged to share their reflections on a book that relates to the chosen theme. 📖

📅 The Dorrigo Library Book Club is held on the last Friday of every month.

👉 The March session will be on Friday 27. Follow the link below to register and drop into the library from 10:30am to join in! 🤗

We've kicked off 2026 with a bang! 🎉

In Janurary and February, seniors have visited Coramba, Guyra, and Yamba on daytrips.🚌

We've been loving our recent town lunches at the Food Angel Kitchen, the Top Pub, the RSL, and even down the mountain at Thora Store. 🍽

We alternate daytrips and town lunches weekly, helping seniors stay active, connected, and engaged in social activities. We’re excited about all the wonderful plans we have coming up over the next few months. 🌟

In February, Dorrigo residents had the opportunity to come along to a presentation delivered by Arc Lawyers on the topic of Navigating Your Estate Planning. 📝

We were glad to see a massive turnout of around 60 people in the Dorrigo Community Hall. Topics ranged from when to make a will,
power of attorney and the advanced care directive.

We are so thankful to John Mooney and the Arc Lawyers team for having these important conversations. 💛
