A 42-seat meeting room in the new Gilgandra Library Hub has been named the Glenys Prout Room.
Glenys Prout – who passed away in 2007 at just 57 – was much loved by her community, having been appointed Gilgandra Librarian in 1980 after spending her early career as a teacher.
Ms Prout was known as an advocate of the Library and of reading and early literacy in general. She always worked to encourage children to read and enjoy learning, and is remembered for establishing the Library’s first Story Time program and toy collection.
