Welcome
This is the April 2008 upgrade of Cook Memorial Library’s new website, in development by Scriblio. It’s a brand new model for libraries, constructed to be interactive throughout, and to give website users the same opportunity for give-and-take that’s one of the joys of visiting our physical library on Tamworth’s Main Street.
If this is your first visit to the new site, please go to the HELP link. It will show you how to navigate the website. Please feel free to comment. Our automation system, InfoCentre, can be accessed directly for reserves and renews, and creating reading lists. -

An excellent story told from the perspective of a 12-year-old girl growing up in a rural farming community where a Japanese internment camp is built during WWII. Think “Scout” in To Kill a Mockingbird learning about a different kind of racism when a murder happens in town. Tallgrass was a real camp and the historical references are a fascinating part of the story.
Another good “To tell a Mockingbird” Read-alike is “Rope Walk” by Carrie Brown
