🥳🎉 You’re invited to celebrate a very special milestone!

Queenstown Library is proudly marking 100 years of being open to the public, a significant moment in our history, when the library evolved from a small, deteriorating reading room on Cutten Street into a vital community hub for the West Coast.

Come and celebrate this incredible achievement with us!

📆 Wednesday 17 June
🕝 2:30pm – 4:00pm
We’d love to see you there! 📚✨

The Australian Government is introducing a new emergency warning system later this year called AusAlert.

AusAlert uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices during local and national disasters.

These messages aim to keep communities informed so they can take action, saving lives and property.

In the lead up to AusAlert being used, there will be some testing of the system during June and July.

A regional test is happening in the Launceston area on 15 June, followed by a national test on 27 July.

For more information and resources, visit www.ausalert.gov.au.
