Winter weekend fun for kidsSaturday afternoons at the Coventry Library, Stirling, is the place to be for kids this June. Get out of the winter weather and join us for a different fun activity each week. Early Childhood Programs Survey As families know, our early childhood programs at the Coventry Library Stirling have looked quite different since being affected by COVID-19. Following recent changes to the COVID-19 guidelines we want to take the chance to ask for your preferences on the timetabling and booking of these programs. This short, anonymous survey will providence guidance on how we schedule these programs under the new guidelines. The survey is open until June 30. Diary Date Our July school holiday program is sure to brighten up your winter! Details and bookings will be released on Monday 21 June so pop it in your dairy and get in early to reserve your place. Around the BranchesRenovations at the Woodside Library The Woodside Library is receiving an exciting facelift! The layout of the library will be re-configured to create more usable space for customers and library programs. To complete the work the Woodside Library will be closed from Monday 14 June (Queen's Birthday public holiday) and will reopen on Wednesday 23 June. From Monday 14 June until Friday 18 June, the Mobile Library will be parked in front of the building to allow for loans, returns and to collect holds, as well as council services. Access will be from 1pm - 5pm. Unstaffed opening hours return to Gumeracha Library Volunteers have returned to the Torrens Valley Community Centre in Gumeracha, which has allowed us to extend self-serve hours to the library.
Automatic renewal of your library loans There's good news for customers who get so busy they forget to renew library loans. If you have supplied the library with an email address, your loans will renew automatically a maximum of two times. You will still receive reminders to bring your items back, but if your items aren't on hold for another customer, and you don't owe any fees, your loans will be extended automatically! Dee O’Loughlin departure After leading our library services for the last 22 years, and both library and customer services for the last 10, Dee O’Loughlin has left Adelaide Hills Council. We thank Dee for her service and wish her well for the future. Digital LiteracyWhere do you start a family history project? Have you ever wondered about your family history?

Our library collectionsNew Coffee Table Books A generous donation from the Friends of the Library Stirling has allowed us to order some lovely new coffee table books. Jump onto the catalogue or give us a call to place your hold today. Digital Resources Update Small changes to the Libby App If you enjoy using the Libby app to access eBooks and eAudiobooks you might have noticed some small changes to the layout of the screen. Additional buttons now allow you to go straight to a catalogue search (the magnifying glass symbol) and your loan history (the clock symbol). You can also now hide curated collections that appear on the library home screen. For example, if you don’t want to see the Time Travel Romance collection as you scroll, just tap the minus symbol next to that category to hide it from view. If you need a hand with any of the new features, any library staff member would be happy to assist you.
