Melton council is inviting the community to celebrate the Melton Library’s 10th anniversary.

On Thursday, June 15, Melton Library and Learning Hub will run events for all ages throughout the day and a jam-packed programme of shows, stories and music after school.

The day will begin at 10.30am with family storytime and a morning tea with a magician and face painters and library tours.

From 4pm the library will host a Big Science Big Fun Show with Fizzics Education, and then that night, hear the stories behind the names of the library rooms from Dr Peter Minard, before dancing the night away to local Australian Bush band, Drongo and the Crow.

The Melton Library and Learning Hub opened in 2013 and was the first library in Australia to be awarded a 5 Star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia. The facility welcomes more than 800 unique visits every day.

Melton mayor Lara Carli said council is looking back on the last decade and celebrating 10 years of “library love”.

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve been using the library for years, have only just signed up, or are still yet to check out your local library – everyone is welcome,“ she said.
