What's happening in Spring at your library
The library has so much on offer this Spring from gardening (hello Seed library!), Health and Wellness, Live Author Talks and mini festivals, so check out the What's on in Spring guide and see what's on offer today.
Endeavour Hills Library is getting a refresh. The library will run temporarily out of the Leisure Centre just next door from Saturday 17 September. You will see the same friendly faces, just in a smaller space. All services will still be offered, just on a smaller scale. Works are due to be complete by mid October.
Young Writers Short Story & Poetry Competition and the Teen Photography Competitions are running so if you are a creative or know a creative make sure you check out the details and enter.
Adult Learners Week begins Thursday 1 September and we have many great programs to encourage lifelong learning, including Tech Time, English Conversation Classes, Book Groups and Writers Groups. Why not try something new this month?
See you at the library.
