Make a date with your library! Celebrate Library Lovers’ Day with us on Sunday afternoon 14 February 2pm – 4pm at Orange City Library. We’ll have refreshments, snacks and fun new Lego kits to break the ice and get you chatting.

Our trainees Claire and Andreas are getting everything ready just for you and a friend. No need to book, just come along. And if you haven’t been to a Library for awhile call into any of our branches – Blayney, Canowindra, Cowra, Forbes, Manildra, Molong and Orange  this week to join up – it’s free!

We are re-invigorating our libraries with real life events. First up will be our baby, toddler and pre-school programs – Ten Minutes a Day; 1,2 Books; and Storytime. Music For Little Ears, Inklings Book Club and Code Club will follow soon, and Lego Club will be held on the last Monday of the month at Orange City Library. More events are also also planned for our branches.

Check our CWL website events page for details and bookings. Bookings open up a week before each event or call your local library.
