📸✨ Throwback Thursday, Mackay Show Memories!
We’re taking a trip down memory lane and looking back at libraries at the Mackay Show! From engaging displays to meeting our community face-to-face and of course, Berky being one of the show favourites, the event has always been a wonderful opportunity to connect, share stories, and celebrate all things library. 💛📚

While our libraries are closed today for the Mackay Show public holiday, our online library is always open, so you can browse, borrow, and explore anytime, anywhere!

Enjoy the show, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! 🎡

🚐✨ Parker the Library Van and crew had a fantastic time at the fabulous Finch Hatton Show!

It was so wonderful to see so many friendly faces stopping by to say hello, explore the van, and learn about what’s new at your local library. From chatting about books and programs to sharing how you can access our services, we loved connecting with our community.

Thank you to everyone who visited Parker, we appreciate your support and enthusiasm. We can’t wait to see you again soon! 📚💛

🤖✨ Libraries are inspiring the next generation!

Curious minds aged 8–12 had a fantastic time at Gordon White Library, diving into the world of coding and technology in this hands-on session 🚀 Participants explored creative tech, turning everyday materials into touch-controlled circuits, digital pianos, and interactive inventions 🎹⚡

By experimenting with wires, playdough, and simple coding concepts, participants built new skills, solved challenges, and brought their ideas to life 💡

📚✨ - Games in the library✨🎲

Who remembers gathering around a table at the library for a friendly (or fiercely competitive!) board game session? 👀

Over the years, libraries has been more than just books - we’ve been a place to play, connect, and create memories. From classic favourites like Scrabble and Monopoly to puzzles that put your brain to the test, games have always been part of the library experience.

Did you know you can borrow games and puzzles just like books? Our Library of Things collection includes a range of board games, jigsaws, and more. 🧩♟️

Whether you're reliving a childhood favourite or discovering a new challenge, there’s something for everyone.

💬 Tell us: What’s your favourite game you’ve played at home or in the library?

Trolling and cyberbullying have increased significantly in recent years. With our growing reliance on technology and social media, it’s become easier for some people to misuse these platforms to harm others.

Online spaces should feel safe, inclusive, and supportive—but too often they’re impacted by negativity.

😔 Experiencing online abuse can have serious impacts, including lower self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and in some cases, thoughts of su***de.
😊 How can you make a difference?

Before you post or comment, take a moment to think—kindness matters.
If you see trolling or cyberbullying:
• Call out harmful behaviour (when it’s safe to do so)
• Block, mute, or report those responsible
• Show support to those being targeted — even small gestures matter

You can also access helpful resources for both young people and parents here:

🧪✨ Young creators got stuck into an afternoon of mixing, stretching, and squishing their way to the ultimate slime creations at Gordon White Library 💚
This squishy, creative afternoon was not only fun, it supported the children's development by enhancing sensory experiences, fine motor skills, creativity, mindfulness, and social interaction💡

From glittery gold slime to colourful, bead-filled masterpieces, there was no shortage of creativity (or mess!) 🖐️✨
