The City of Casey is thrilled to announce that the Clyde Township Community Centre is now home to a new Library Lounge, providing residents in Clyde and surrounding areas access to library collections, 24/7 library lockers and programming.
To celebrate the opening of the Library Lounge on Saturday 14 February, City of Casey Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen and Casey Councillors joined Connected Libraries CEO Beth Luppino at a Family Fun Day. Local families enjoyed free face painting, interactive library activities, roving entertainment, a magic show, sausage sizzle and giveaways.
The Library Lounge, which is a small library branch, was funded by Council and will be operated by Connected Libraries. The Lounge will remain in place until a full-service library branch is developed as part of a proposed community hub in the Clyde area in the coming years.
Cr Koomen said: "the Clyde Township Library Lounge is an innovative and cost-effective solution to ensure the Clyde community has access to library services. This is a welcoming and safe space where residents can read, learn, connect and build relationships that strengthen our community.
