Phillip Adams (AO) has fond memories of Boroondara Libraries. Here is what he had to say as part of our sesquicentenary celebrations."My formal education was exceedingly brief and seemed to compound my ignorance.
But the local library?
The East Kew sub branch of the Kew Municipal Library?
That's where I really learned. That's where the world was revealed. That's where I learnt the power and magic of books. I owe that little local library everything and continue to regard the public library service as one of Australia's greatest achievements.
So happy 150th to Boroondara!"
