KEEP your eyes peeled around the library as we celebrate Library and Information Week (27 July – 2 August).
This is a time to celebrate all the fantastic things that libraries contribute to our community. We are getting into the spirit by posting some behind the scenes videos on our Facebook page, installing a “quote” tree in the library where you can say what you love about our library, and all the great programs you enjoy!
