Library Week Wrap Up

There will be lots happening in our branch libraries during Library Week, 19-25 May. There are a number of major events occurring during Library Week in the Sutherland Shire and our Branch Libraries are having a week long celebration.

If you haven't already read about it you can catch up on our Library Week events including:

In addition, our branch libraries will be offering you the chance to get to know you library with a number of activities and competitions. Some of the highlights include:
