GREETINGS
It is an absolute privilege to share this awesome range
of programs and activities with you, particularly in these
very strange times.
If you had asked the team at Casey Cardinia Libraries to put
together a high quality online range of activities that the whole
community could access in their own home at the beginning of this year,
I am sure you would have got a slightly bemused, but quietly confident response.
Well here we are… it is not how we would wish things to be, but it is one of those times
that we have to celebrate what is going well. We have a choice in life – we let the
fates take their course with a shrug of our shoulders, or we knuckle down and do the
best we can in the circumstances.
In amongst all the uncertainty, the library is here for you. We can’t wait to see you
back in our libraries again soon, but in the meantime we are determined to keep
delivering books, online content and programs to you.
Please read on, check out what is on offer and take a chance on something new.
All the best from the team at Casey Cardinia Libraries.
Kind Regards
Chris Buckingham
Chief Executive Officer

fingertips. It is all free!SUPPORT OUR BOOK DELIVERY SERVICE Help us continue our free book deliveries and outreach services to community in need. During this pandemic, we’ve all experienced what it’s like to be isolated – we’ve known fear, boredom and loneliness. Imagine however if this was your daily life even without the threat of COVID-19. For many people in our community, this is what life is always like. Sadly, in Casey Cardinia, there are many older or vulnerable people who are unable to leave their homes. Worse, they may be unable to afford internet, e-readers and computers to help the time pass and connect to others. With your support, these people can feel less alone. $30 will provide 3 deliveries to someone unable to leave their house. $50 will provide 5 deliveries to an isolated older person. $100 will enable the library to delivery a digital program to help people connect to new ideas and each other. $500 will allow the library to lend a PC or laptop to a person in need for 6 months. At Casey Cardinia Libraries, we use the GiveEasy platform so your donations are secure. We will also send a receipt straight to your email. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible. Donate using Credit Card, PayPal or call us on 1800 577 548 and we can help you over the phone. Go to ccl.vic.gov.au/support-our-book-delivery-service/ to donate now!
