Welcome to Oxford Public Library - Online

"Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness."

Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)

The mission of the Oxford Public Library is to provide welcoming spaces for community interaction, access to information and lifelong learning.

MEET THE AUTHOR: 

JEAN DEBELLE LAMENSDORF

Working as a journalist at the Adelaide Advertiser in 1966, Jean Debelle yearned to be involved in the biggest story of the decade - the Vietnam War. But only male journalists in Australia were being sent to cover the escalating conflict. Instead, she volunteered to work in Vietnam for the Red Cross to tend to the non-medical welfare of the sick and wounded ANZAC forces. Jean had planned to report on the war in spare moments – but there were none. For one year she lived in the spotlight; a young Australian woman among 5,000 men.
