WHAT’S ON
IN AUTUMN
FOR KIDS & TEENS
INCLUDING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
Inspiring spaces where everyone
is free to discover possibilities 1 MARCH – 31 MAY 2021
ccl.vic.gov.au
GREETINGS It is so good to see people back in our libraries again. If there is anything we have learned over the last 12 months, it is that a library without people is no more than a repository of books. Don’t get me wrong, you cannot have a library without books, but it is people who bring libraries to life. The team at Casey Cardinia Libraries (CCL) have been working hard over the last few weeks as we return services back to some sense of normality. We are very much looking forward to resuming normal opening hours from the beginning of February and delivering programs where we get to see you in person. One of the challenges we face in the coming months is finding ways to maintain some of the new services we established during lockdown while offering a full suite of services from the branch. The latest community survey told us very clearly that people appreciate the Click and Collect service, Online Programs and the Home Delivery Service. 86% of respondents to our most recent community survey said that they access the library branch closest to them. Our data also tells us that you are more likely to be a library member if you have a library within easy travelling distance. We feel a moral responsibility to provide an equitable service to all residents of Casey and Cardinia. To that end we will keep working on a blended approach with physical and digital resources and programming for as long as we can. So read on and enjoy the latest offerings from the team at CCL. We have so many great kids/teens and adult events for the community this season. Kind Regards Chris Buckingham Chief Executive Officer Casey Cardinia Libraries PS Don’t forget that bookings are essential to all events! (Except babies under 12 months).

Help us continue our free book deliveries and outreach
services to community in need.
During this pandemic, we’ve all experienced what it’s like to be
isolated – we’ve known fear, boredom and loneliness. Imagine however
if this was your daily life even without the threat of COVID-19.
For many people in our community, this is what life is always like. Sadly, in Casey Cardinia,
there are many older or vulnerable people who are unable to leave their homes. Worse,
they may be unable to afford internet, e-readers and computers to help the time pass and
connect to others. With your support, these people can feel less alone.
$30 will provide 3 deliveries to someone unable to leave their house.
$50 will provide 5 deliveries to an isolated older person.
$100 will enable the library to delivery a digital program to help people connect to
new ideas and each other.
$500 will allow the library to lend a PC or laptop to a person in need for 6 months.
At Casey Cardinia Libraries, we use the GiveEasy platform so your donations are secure.
We will also send a receipt straight to your email. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.
Donate using Credit Card, PayPal or call us on 1800 577 548 and we can help you over the phone.
