Our new Library Lounge and 24/7 Library Lockers are open!

Can you believe that February is almost here?!

There is so much to be excited about at the library this month, we are thrilled to have the Library Lounge open in Cranbourne West, and we are throwing a party to celebrate - A Family Fun Day with stacks of free activities and food (and brand-new books for loan) on Saturday 17 February.

The Connected Libraries app has been revamped. The app is easy to use, you can search the catalogue, place holds and even use it as your barcode for checking out books at our self-serve kiosks.
PLUS if you download or update the CL app in February you will automatically go into the draw to win an iPad!

All libraries will be closed on Friday 26 January due to the Public Holiday, but the Digital Library is available 24/7.

See you at the library.
