Our Libraries
A cosy group enjoyed a workshop held at Proserpine Library on 22nd May. Thanks to a RADF grant "Conversations for Inner Peace" was designed to remind those who may be feeling sad, anxious, lonely and isolated, that they are not alone.
Come join us at the Bowen Library for our new Little Library Play session every Friday at 10.30am. Aimed at children walking to 3 years these play sessions allow young ones to learn and practice new sounds. They can try out new vocabulary, on their own or with others, and exercise their imagination and creativity through roleplay. By playing with others, children learn how to take turns, cooperate and share. This also helps them to develop their language skills. We look forward to seeing you at this new fun session.
Are you GREEN with envy about our fabulous children’s programs participants and their funky shirts? Come and join us every week during school term and share songs, stories and free activities. We offer Baby Bounce, Little Library Play and Story Time as part of the First 5 Forever initiative to support your child’s early literacy and language development. Visit your local library branch today to find out more.
Local author, Richard Evans, will be at Bowen, Collinsville and Cannonvale libraries this week to talk about his new book, "The Mallee", where he gets his inspiration from, insights into his writing process and some of the challenges and success of his traditional and self-publishing journey.
The LOTE collection across the region is routinely renewed. This time around we spotted a few of our favourites… Cannonvale Library currently holds Spanish, German, Dutch, Korean junior items and Korean and Hungarian adult items while Bowen Library hold Tamil adult fiction items. Please contact your local branch if you have any queries.
Is your child creative? Do they like to build? Are they interested in robotics? Come along to Makerspace at Bowen, Cannonvale and Proserpine Libraries and join in with fun activities to develop these skills and more. Cannonvale Library also offers Mini Makers for children aged 5 and under to help little ones experience the world of making too.
Hoopla are excited to launch five additions to their BingePass collection, each featuring educational content for children. These new BingePasses focus on reading, STEAM, language learning, and more! For just one borrow, you will have access to an entire library of videos for seven days.
Set your child up for success! It's important to foster an early love of books and reading in your child's life. By signing them up for their very own library card, you can help them feel confident and comfortable in the library space. A library card opens new worlds to your child, so pop into your local library today!
