All around friends and colleagues are gearing up for the summer holidays and the festive season.
The library Christmas display is surrounded by food kindly donated by the community, through our annual Food for Fines amnesty. Storytime is over for another year and the annual Summer Reading Clubs have been launched.
Holidays are the perfect time to be part of a Summer Reading Club; it's free, simple, self-paced and there are great prizes on offer. Each time you borrow from the library, place your borrowing slip into one of the Summer Reading Clubs lucky draw chests for your chance to win a prize.
Summer Reading Club packs for primary school-aged children are now available and contain an activity booklet, water bottle, stickers, lollies and plenty of other fun stuff. This year’s theme is Game On.
This national initiative allows children develop a sense of community with other readers across the country as they discover great Australian authors and illustrators, and engage in literary and creative activities, both online and at home.
Young Australians is our youth reading program and even the grown-ups can get involved though Relaxing Summer Reads. Booklets can be collected from the library and are full of hand-picked reading suggestions for teens and adults.
New to the library this summer is Family Movie Wednesday. We have some great films lined up for your enjoyment. Commencing on January 3 and continuing weekly throughout the holidays, we will be showing classics such as Despicable Me 3, UP, The Fantastic Mr Fox and The Peanuts Movie. Sessions start at 10.30am in the Children’s Area and are free.
Join us for some delicious family entertainment on Thursday, January 18. The Vegetable Plot are an award winning bunch of roots musicians who have sprungfrom the underground on a radical mission: to get kids to fall in love with vegetables! They are fun, fresh, funky and physical!
Twist and sprout, turn up the beet, and rock out with your broc out. Don't stay at home like a couch potato, lettuce entertain you. You will have a berry good time! For booking details visit our websites ‘What’s On’ page, our Facebook page or call the library on 6926 9700.
