Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As we approach the end of the year, Connected Libraries would like to thank all of our members for their support over what has been a very busy year.

We have plenty of school holiday programs running throughout December and January, and our libraries will be open over the festive season with reduced hours.

There is lots planned for next year, including the opening of a brand new Library Lounge at Cranbourne West Community Hub, the launch of our Library Lockers, as well as many exciting events and regular programs continuing.

Be sure to make the most of your library by exploring all we have to offer.

The Connected Libraries team would like to wish you and your families all a safe and happy Summer Holiday break.

Introducing our new Library Lounge and Library Lockers!

In January, Connected Libraries is opening a brand-new Library Lounge at the Cranbourne West Community Hub!

Connected Libraries Members will be able to borrow, return and renew items at the lounge.

You’ll even have access to our free Wi-Fi, public computers, storytimes and regular programs!

Another feature is the installation of new library lockers, located outside of the Community Hub.

You will be able to select items to place on hold and pick them up from the lockers – accessible 24/7 when your items become available for collection.

Lockers will also be at Orana Community Place and Manna Gum Family and Community Centre.

We are so happy to be bringing library services closer to our developing communities in Casey.
