Beyond the Books: Your Library is More Than You Think

🌿 Beyond the Books: Your Library is More Than You Think

When was the last time you visited your local library? If it’s been a while, you might be surprised at what’s waiting inside.

Our libraries are no longer just about quiet reading and dusty shelves — they’re vibrant, welcoming hubs of learning, creativity, and connection. From sewing machines to board games, tech help to podcasting studios, there’s something for everyone — and it’s all free.

📚 Craft nights
🎲 Game clubs
🧵 Maker spaces
🌱 Even seed libraries to help you grow your own veggies!

Each branch is different, each visit a new adventure.

In a world where everything seems to come with a price tag, your library remains a rare gem — open to everyone, no strings attached.

Let’s celebrate and support these amazing spaces that bring our community together. Who knows? You might go in for a book and come out with a new hobby — or a new friend.

Have a favourite branch or library memory? I’d love to hear it in the comments!
