COMMUNITY NEWS - Library Lovers Day

Celebrate the diverse ways that libraries transform lives during this year’s Library Lovers Day. Enjoy a variety of events and activities all week, across all library locations that highlight the different ways that the community love and use libraries, from free events and family fun, to access to information and resources.

Write on a paper heart how libraries have transformed your life and have it displayed in your local library branch. Enjoy free heart-shaped chocolates and check out the Sunshine Coast library displays with books to help transform your life. Or register to crochet a love heart in the Creative Craft workshop: Nambour Library February 12, Maleny Library February 15 and Beerwah Library February 18.
