s.s.p.a library
The S.S.P.A. Library was established in 1987 with its aim being to inform, reassure, support, encourage and stimulate SSPA members. Its collection includes a range of adult and children's fiction, adult non-fiction, reference materials, periodicals and videos, all dealing with the subject of short stature and its associated problems. All members are welcome to borrow from the Library via mail or, where applicable in person.
The SSPA Library has 2 new books,
“Little People, Learning To See The World Through My Daughter’s
Eyes” by Dan Kennedy and “Walking Tall, Overcoming Inner
Smallness No What Size You Are” by Peggy O’Neill. The books will
be available to borrow at the Albury sports weekend in June.
A brief review of
“Walking Tall, Overcoming Inner Smallness No What Size You Are” by
Peggy O’Neill.
Peggy O’Neill proclaims: “The discovery of my life is this: Outer Stature does
not dictate happiness; INNER Stature does”.
Sharing stories and experiences from her own life, Peggy O’Neill’s inspirational
book encourages the reader to examine his or her life through positive thoughts,
attitudes and actions to create the life he or she wants.
Anne Murn, SSPA
Librarian
Borrowing rules are as follows:
1. Library borrowing will be available to members of the SSPA only.
2. Initially members may only borrow one book at a time for a period
not exceeding one month.
3. The borrower will be responsible for replacement of books in cases
of loss or damage.
4. When books are borrowed through the mail, the borrower must, on
return of the loan, enclose stamps to the value of the initial postage
so the library will not incur extra costs.
5. Materials such as bibliographies, directories, etc. (which are
mainly reference books) will not be available for loan but are to be
used as sources for quick reference. For members wishing for
information from these texts but who are unable to search them
personally, please contact the Librarian who will be happy to assist.
Reviews of newly-purchased appear in the SSPA Journal on an occasional
basis.
