All libraries across Casey and Cardinia have reopened their doors to the community, after several months spent closed through the coronavirus lockdown.
As things return to a new kind of normal, Casey Cardinia Libraries (CCL) are delighted to welcome community members back into their libraries.
From Monday 23 November, all CCL Libraries will be open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and Bunjil Place Library will be open on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm for click and collect only.
The Cardinia Mobile Library will continue to run its regular route and will be at Bunyip every second Saturday, starting Saturday 21 November.
Other services available from CCL include click and collect of holds and Binge Bags, free home delivery to Casey and Cardinia residents and return chutes open 24/7.
“We are so happy to see people back in our libraries again,” CCL CEO Chris Buckingham said.
“Our staff have truly missed seeing the community in our branches. Behind all the face masks there are lots of smiles.”
Summer What’s On events for adults, kids and teens launches on Tuesday 24 November and is jam packed with online events to keep the community entertained over summer.
For now, all events will be run online but this will be reviewed in early 2021.
“We really appreciate the way people are acting responsibly by wearing face masks, practicing good hygiene and maintaining social distancing,” Mr Buckingham added.
“When everyone does the right thing, we are all safer for it.
“We hope to extend our opening hours further as government restrictions ease and everyone gets used to being back in the libraries again.”
