We are welcoming donations of non-perishable food at Libraries ACT until 31 January 2020
All food will be donated to OzHarvest Canberra who provide food to more than 60 charities in the ACT. Please bring food items into any Libraries ACT branches (don’t put them through return chutes). Only non-perishable,
sealed food items (ie. tins and packets) will be accepted.
With no more overdue fines, these donations are being accepted for good will, rather than to reduce library charges.
From 21 November, your account will be cleared of any outstanding charges, so you will start with zero $$ owing. Plus, no more overdue fines will be charged as we have a new way of managing overdue items. Click through for more information.
We're celebrating 50 years of Dickson Library! Join us on Saturday 30 November for a day of family activities. Come along for the whole day, or drop in and visit for a while to help us celebrate. Activities include: The Very Hungry Caterpillar is 50 story time, Left Lane Outreach Theatre, music of the 1960s, a National Trust Heritage Talk and Tour about the building’s design, a sausage sizzle, and more.
November is full of variety. Meet Heather Morris (The Tattooist of Auschwitz) and Elisabeth Rose (The House at Flynn’s Crossing). Need help with finances or budget school holiday activities? We’re hosting a range of workshops. Want to write a memoir? Emma Adams will guide you. There are also programs about summer gardening, preserving military memorabilia, recycling story times, and more.
