This week (27 May-3 June) is National Reconciliation Week.

A celebration of the First Australians and an attempt to make Australia a more egalitarian society, NRW aims at building better relationships between the wider Australian community and its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Miller College Library has a number of related resources, including ebooks on Aboriginal ways of using English as well as Promoting Aboriginal health. For more information, go to http://www.reconciliation.org.au/nrw/

Twenty-two years ago, the Cancer Council started an event where Australian workmates, friends, and families got together over a cup of tea and raised funds for cancer research, prevention and support services.

This year, Miller TAFE Library will be celebrating Australia's Biggest Morning Tea on 27th May from 10.00-11.30 am. We will be selling a variety of cupcakes, cake pops & slices in the library foyer, and you can also donate via: http://nsw.cancercouncilfundraising.org.au/MillerTAFELibrary
