Moorabool and Melton libraries are playing their parts in keeping people’s mind active during the latest COVID-19 lockdown.
Melton council is bringing libraries to residents with story time, events, audiobooks, and genealogy resources online, as well as and click and collect books and movies.
Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik said being able to access the library online offers an ideal activity for people as they stay at home.
“This is the perfect opportunity to discover the many interesting and interactive things our online library has to offer,” she said.
“You can research your own ancestry, prepare for a career change, or build your children’s interest in reading.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our libraries but in the meantime, we hope you’ll make the most of our online library and click and collect service.”
The council’s regular Storytime, Toddler Time and Baby Bounce sessions continue online, with your favourite library storytellers sharing stories, songs, and rhymes.
Job Lab helps you update your resume, get help writing cover letters and applications, understand the online job application process, and learn some useful tips for your next interview.
The library’s eCollections allow you to access thousands of eBooks, audiobooks, music and movies, as well as online education courses, magazine and newspaper access, fun kids learning and genealogy resources.
Click and collect offerings allow you to borrow anything from the collection, including books, DVDs and magazines – either choose your own items or let the team create a surprise book bundle for you.
Moorabool libraries have also moved to a click and collect service in line with the state government tightening restrictions in regional Victoria.
Lerderderg Library is operating a Click & Collect service between 10am and 4pm and Ballan Library is offering Click & Collect between 1pm and 4pm.
Borrowers are asked to call ahead to arrange a collection time prior to attending.
