Week 5: Wiki (edting entry)

After an initial search of Manilla, I was givenm the option of:
Manilla, New South Wales, Australia
Manilla, Indiana, United States
Manilla, Iowa, United States
Manilla, Ontario, Canada
Looking around and concurring that I was not in Kansas (I mean Indiana, Iowa or Ontario), I headed down the sunburnt yellow brick road to Manilla in NSW Australia.

The entry looked great, but there was no mention of our new library. Well, with a few keystrokes (and many more) I edited the entry to include the Manilla Library – which may seem to double up as a promotional tool – but I’m sure its not the first on Wiki.

My entry:
Manilla also features a new library centre. Located within the Tamworth Regional Council office in the main street of Manilla, the library is a new type of facility which is known globally as a convergence centre. This means there are many facilities on offer including Centrelink, the Manilla Book Club (which meets the 3rd Monday of each month) and Storytime for the little kiddies every Friday morning at 11.00am (including a craft activity). The community of Manilla shows great support for the library, which is growing in services every day.

The Manilla Library offers books, audio books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, newspapers, free internet ... all in a modern, positive and happy atmosphere. Call in and say Hi when in Manilla. Membership for adults and children is free.
