Adults, Kids and Babies.. there is something for everyone

The weather is warming up and Spring is well and truly in the air. The library has so much on offer this month for adults, teens, kids and babies.

For adults check out one of our many Author events this month. We have Judy Nunn (yes, she was in Home and Away!!) and Tricia Stringer visiting us at Bunjil Place Library. We also have Watercolour Art sessions, Brain Training, Zumba, Mindful Craft and Qigong.

For kids, regular programs including LEGO Club, STEAM Club, Homework Club, Storytimes and Baby Rhyme Time are back from Monday 2 October. 

The Community Survey is still open and we want to hear from you. Please take 10 minutes to tell us what you think about your library service and what you would like to see at your library. Complete the survey and go into the draw to win a $100 Coles Myer Voucher - what are you waiting for?!

Sensitive Santa is coming to Cranbourne and Endeavour Hills Library this November. Sensitive Santa allows children with special needs to access Santa in a sensory friendly environment. Lights dimmed, noise restricted, no crowds. Sessions will book fast so put Monday 16 October in your diary as this is when the bookings will open.

See you at the library!

Join us for an evening with one of Australia's most successful authors and all-round superstar, Judy Nunn, and celebrate her latest historical blockbuster novel, 'Black Sheep'.

'Black Sheep' is a sweeping historical novel about a prosperous sheep-farming family and the enigmatic young man with a dark past they let into their lives.
