Gympie Regional Libraries supports launch of 'How do you library?' campaign
Gympie Regional Libraries is excited to join the State Library of Queensland in celebrating the launch of the ‘How Do You Library?’ campaign.
This new statewide initiative aims to inspire more Queenslanders to visit their local libraries and discover the incredible array of services, programs, and resources available.
The campaign officially launches on Friday, 14 February 2025, coinciding with ‘Library Lovers’ Day’, a global celebration of libraries and their critical role in enriching lives and strengthening communities.
Gympie Regional Council Mayor Glen Hartwig said our region’s libraries offer much more than just books, they are vibrant community spaces where residents can learn, connect, create, and discover.
“From attending workshops and exploring digital resources to enjoying family activities and uncovering new hobbies, there’s something for everyone at your local library,” Cr Hartwig said.
“I encourage everyone to come along to the activities our library staff have planned as part of ‘Library Lovers Day’.
“Enjoy author talks, workshops, fun activities for the kids, and for those who attend, you’ll receive a free gift bag packed with goodies.
“Now is the perfect time to visit the library for the first time or, for regulars, to experience something new.”
To celebrate Library Lovers Day, Gympie Regional Libraries is hosting a series of exciting events showcasing the diverse programs and opportunities that are available to residents.
