Ask about our Literacy Program

Message from the Executive Director

Liz Jack

As we welcome our members and visitors

back, it’s heartening to see communities

once again connect with the services and

programs they love at their local library.

We’re excited to now be able to provide modified Early Learning and

Adult Learning programs at libraries right around the state, in line

with public gathering restrictions.

Your local library can link you to a range of programs, services and

learning opportunities—whether it be for recreation, gaining new

skills, discovering your past, researching family history, or simply

connecting with others. And we can help you explore the online

world with digital and information programs.

Adult literacy and numeracy support is now available, and we are

again offering Storytime, Rock & Rhyme and school holiday programs

for families and young people.

Adult Education classes are also open, with a range of classes being

offered, including languages, fine arts and photography. Visit the

Adult Education website to enrol.

We hope you enjoy what’s on offer this month at your local library.

Please just remember to observe all public health guidelines, including

practising good hand hygiene and physical distancing in our libraries.

And if you’re unwell, please wait until you’ve recovered to visit us.

Contact your local library to explore your options today!
