If you're reading this newsletter, you already know that borrowing from us is a smart move for your wallet and the environment. Choosing to borrow books, magazines, DVDs, or any of our digital offerings instead of buying supports a sustainable cycle of resource use. By sharing materials, we help reduce landfill waste and shrink our carbon footprint.

But borrowing instead of buying is not the only way to save money and help the planet. This month we have partnered with all our member councils to bring you more sessions on reducing household waste with The Urban Nanna.  She will present simple solutions you can implement where ever you live that will help your hip pocket, your waistline and the planet.

The July school holidays are almost upon us, and there is another bumper program of events to keep the kids entertained and informed during the chilly days. Less and less of our activities require bookings, so you can drop in if the mood takes you!

Finally, the Queen of Crime lives on, and one of her most ardent fans, Scott Wallace Baker, will be in conversation at Miller's Homestead talking all things Agatha. Come and sit in our very own grand parlour and enjoy delving into the intricate plot twists and unforgettable characters that contribute to the ongoing appeal of Agatha Christie's writing.

Stay warm!

Chief Experience Officer

The way Your Library offers Technology Support is changing

To allow us to serve and help more people in the community, we will now be offering free, in-person group Technology Support sessions with our patient, knowledgeable, Tech Support Officers. Staff will do their best to help you set up your device, learn how to access interesting and helpful apps, and answer tech-based questions you may have.

As a Your Library member, there are 3 types of programs you can access (see below). Find the event that suits you best on our events calendar.
