Many people have been asking who is in the photo on the front of the five favourite books nomination form.
The woman featured in the photograph on the front of the nomination form is Mrs Carbines who was appointed as the Hawthorn Library Manager during WW2, when it was decided that she'd be "okay" until a man was available to take over.
Not only was Mrs Carbines "okay", she was an innovative forward thinker and luckily for Boroondara she stayed in the position for over 10 years and helped develop the library service into what it is today.
