If you haven’t visited your local library lately, you’re missing out on a treasure trove of experiences and opportunities. Over the years, our libraries have evolved into vibrant community hubs that offer more than just books.
Here are some things you can discover at Mornington Peninsula Libraries, and best of all, they’re 100% free with your library membership!
- Events and workshops –our libraries host a range of events for all ages, from creative learning and author talks to technology classes and craft workshops. Explore your interests, expand your knowledge, and make new connections – all within the welcoming walls of our libraries.
- Digital resources –our collection includes eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music, games, and online databases. You can access research materials, read popular Australian newspapers, enhance your children’s literacy with eBooks, and grow your professional skills with online courses.
- Community programs –we offer a range of programs, including Yack n Yarn, Chatty Café, Story Dogs, gardening clubs, after-school programs and so much more. These programs allow you to share your voice, meet like-minded individuals and build connections that make a difference.
- Children programs –in today’s digital age, where screens often dominate our lives, libraries serve as an oasis for young minds. Nurture your child’s love for reading and knowledge with our Storytime and STEM programs, which offer the perfect blend of entertainment and education.
- Home Library Service –if you can’t visit our libraries due to frailty, illness or a disability, Our Home Library Service may be the answer. This service is staffed by volunteers, who carefully select materials based on your preferences and deliver them directly to your home. As well as bringing you library items, they offer important social connections and a friendly ear to listen.
So, if you haven’t been to the library in a while, plan to visit us soon! Rediscover the joy of learning, exploring, and connecting with your local community.
Our Libraries are located across the Mornington Peninsula at Hastings, Mornington, Rosebud, and Somerville, with a small browsing collection at Sorrento Community Centre.
