Why I love My Local Library

Yesterday's Melbourne Age newspaper (Saturday 4 August 2018) contained a great opinion piece by Caitlin Fitzsimmons, headed Why I love my library and you should too. And I couldn't agree more - our local libraries are havens and vital resources for people of all ages.

The city of Moreland, where I live, is lucky enough to have 5 libraries

Brunswick Library
Campbell Turnbull Library
Coburg Library
Fawkner Library
Glenroy Library

as well, as a huge range of online services. It doesn't matter whether you want to browse a newspaper of journal or periodical in person, or borrow a toy or a book or an audiobook, or electronically borrow an ebook or reserve a hard to find book, it can all be done simply and safely.

I usually attend the Coburg Library at least once a fortnight, even though I have a huge library at home. There is always something going on is this vital community hob.

May our local libraries always be there for us.
