Across all the Brimbank library branches, there is no shortage of events and activities to fill your day up.
Whether it be ‘sensory storytime’ at the Deer Park Library or ‘practise your English’ sessions at the Sunshine Library, the what’s on’ section of the Brimbank Libraries website has something for everyone.
‘Create and Chat’ is a regular activity held at the Sydenham Library, where locals are encouraged to bring their craft projects along and join others for an hour of creativity and chat.
Brimbank mayor Bruce Lancashire said the five Brimbank Libraries are a valued community asset that provide much needed services and programs to the local community.
“Our ‘Create and Chat’ activity helps build social connectedness while encouraging adults to be creative. People of all skill levels are encouraged to bring their knitting, stitching or any other craft projects and enjoy creativity, a cup of tea and a chat,” he said.
With a variety of programs on offer throughout the day, Cr Lancashire said libraries play a key role in encouraging lifelong learning across Brimbank.
“It’s important to have lots of frequent activities available for the community as it helps combat social isolation and brings the community together.”
