Pandemic blog enters state library

The Corona pandemic meant the end of activities for many community groups overnight.

Being a visual artist Lin Nolan kept her group, The Parkbench Ukulele Players, engaged, by posting light hearted drawings along with fun poetry on a daily basis on the group Facebook page which was seen by its 150 plus local and international members.

“In effect it became my daily blog which I titled My Pandemic Journey,“ she said.

“As each little booklet was completed it was turned into a PDF Ebook“.

The Queensland State Library were asking for material to be considered for inclusion In their Covid Queensland History so Lin submitted her material for consideration and was delighted when she was contacted with a proposal for acquisition.

“I have been informed that my material will be included in the State catalogue,“ she said.

She still retains copyright so can continue to make her books available to the Noosa Community.
