Like the desert flower which blooms under the toughest conditions such as drought, so too the centre of the flower represents the spirit which binds our community together. The petals of the flower reach out to hold together our Shire under a protective umbrella, showing a will to persevere and survive.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BQYCwUTNhZ0/RwNBPp8bHaI/AAAAAAAAAAk/588BOwtejUc/s1600-h/Digital+Camera+032.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BQYCwUTNhZ0/RwNBPp8bHaI/AAAAAAAAAAk/588BOwtejUc/s320/Digital+Camera+032.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117005338836147618" /></a><br />Cr Maryann Bisdee and Mrs Arleen Breeze<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27613759-2828595419279627381?l=cliftonlibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bookendshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07431311777258590935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613759.post-78962003557456551962007-10-03T16:57:00.000+10:002007-10-03T17:26:42.780+10:00Clifton Library was proud to be the host for the book launch of "Silver in the Sun" the latest novel by best selling author Tony Parsons.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BQYCwUTNhZ0/RwM-wZ8bHYI/AAAAAAAAAAU/30tWuDmX0WI/s1600-h/DSCF2434.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117002602941980034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BQYCwUTNhZ0/RwM-wZ8bHYI/AAAAAAAAAAU/30tWuDmX0WI/s320/DSCF2434.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Tony Parsons with Cr.
