SUMMARY:Box Hill Library - some beginnings.
DESCRIPTION:Prominent literary critic and author Helen Elliott worked in the Box Hill Library from 1964 -19169 when it was a small rectangular building in the middle of Whitehorse road. There were perhaps 20 staff. All female. The Chief Librarian was a man Bert Lewis.\nIn her recent Memoir\, Eleven Letters to You\, Elliott devotes two of the eleven letters to people at the library in those years. Helen Garner called Elliott’s book: “A quietly ecstatic work of memory – intense\, witty\, beautiful.” Biographer Brenda Niall called it “A rare feat of imagination and memory\, Louise Adler called it “deeply evocative\, with the humanity of Facey’s A Fortunate Life\, written on the little piece of ivory favoured by Jane Austen.”.\nElliott has invented a new form of memoir\, full of detailed social history and addressed to people she loved and honoured all those years ago. Box Hill\, over half a century ago was a world now as lost and seemingly as long ago as the Eighteenth Century. .She will speak in detail about those days\, those times\, that other world.
