There's little chance that the librarians of Nowra have ever growled, "Quiet please!"

"We have a lot of fun," says Robin Sharpe, the Nowra Library's digital resources manager and "chief village idiot".

When their masters at the Shoalhaven City Council asked the librarians to detail their achievements over the past 12 months, there was little chance that anyone was going to doze off during the presentation.

"We knew it could be death by Powerpoint and we're really partial to a bit of song and dance," said Ms Sharpe.
