       AUTUMN
      Inspiring spaces where everyone

WHAT'S ON THIS AUTUMN - 1 MARCH - 31 MAY 2021 - Casey Cardinia Libraries
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!

SUPPORT OUR BOOK DELIVERY SERVICE

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.

 We chat to popular Victorian author Fiona Lowe. Her new book - A
              Home Like Ours comes out in March.

Alli Sinclair who is a multi-award winning author. Alli’s books explore
  history, culture, love and grief, and relationships between family,
                            friends and lovers.

  Anna-Marie Crowhurst’s book Badly Behaved Women is a story of
the past 100 years of the women’s movement, from suffrage, alleged
 bra burning and the politics of hair to Beyonce, body positivity and
                              #MeToo.

To celebrate the Midsumma Festival we have a special interview with
       a well known Australian author tune in to find out who!
