If you have been busy reading and read at least 20 stories bring your bookmark in and dip your hand into the lucky dip prize box.

We have Decorate your own library bag and or those wanting an afternoon of laughs get yourself a team together and register for the Kids Trivia @ the Library. Further details are available via the library website, in the library or the library Facebook page.
Story Box Library now available to be accessed in Library
Some people would have noticed the new TV that has been installed in the kids’ section of the library. We have hooked up the Story Box Library for you to utilise while in the library. Just ask next time you are visiting.
Cinema returning February 2021
Thanks to the relaxation of restrictions and new release movies coming out late January I will be reinstating the cinema in February. So, pencil in Saturday 13 February 8pm for opening night. Since it will be Valentine weekend for those who celebrate why not make it a date night and organise dinner prior to the movie. Restrictions will be announced closer to the date as these are changing regularly.
Preschool Storytime and Baby Bounce returning in 2021
Storytime and Baby Bounce will be returning from Wednesday 3 February at 10.30am and then every 2 weeks after that during school term only.
