New website for Fryer Library

The Fryer Library has a new website and we want to know what you think about the changes.

The new website aims to make it much easier to find information about visiting Fryer, the collections, and our community.

Fryer Folios – the art special issue

The 2013 issue of Fryer Folios has arrived! Focussing on art, the issue includes:

Fryer collections update

Until recently, all collections belonging to Fryer Library have been stored in the same building as the library. Increasing space problems mean that some items have been moved out of the building, and now need to be requested in advance of a visit to Fryer Library.

On the move

During the week beginning 3 June, Fryer Library will be working with a moving company to relocate over 1500 boxes of manuscript material to a new store, located at the Gatton campus. We have taken this step due to space constraints, especially as our collections continue to grow.

During the move, there will be some delays in accessing materials, while the movers are working.

Upcoming Friends of Fryer Event: Investigating Arthur Upfield

Next Tuesday's Friends of Fryer Event is "Investigating Arthur Upfield": a panel discussion about Upfield, the first Australian professional writer of detective novels. Panellist and co-editor, Kees de Hoog, blogs about how his interest in Upfield developed...

My interest in Arthur Upfield really began in the 1960s when I was a teenager. I remember reading quite a few Bony novels over that time.

The 2013 Fryer Library Award

The Fryer Library is pleased to announce the winner of the 2013 Fryer Library Award.

Fryer thesis collection on the move

In early 2013, the Fryer thesis collection is on the move to a warehouse space. This move will bring the whole of the Fryer thesis collection back together in one storage area.

Access to all theses will be unavailable until at least the week beginning 7 January, to allow the movers access to the collection.
