Study, homework help at hand
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck on a study question or not sure where to even start with an assignment? Free study and homework help available online 24/7. With your library membership, you get free access to Studiosity. Connect live by selecting a subject (like writing, maths, science, economics, assignment research and more), type your question and you'll be connected with a friendly Subject Specialist for one-to-one help in real time.

Storytime online
Although children's programs are suspended for now, we are eager to ensure our early literacy initiatives continue and all children in the community can still experience the joy of storytelling. Follow our Facebook page to view our digital storytelling videos. Our amazing storytellers have so far read The Big Hungry Bear, We're Going on a Bear Hunt and The Book with No Pictures, with more videos to come.
Imagine the best stories being read aloud to you by our favourite storytellers - well that's Story Box Library. Get kids excited about reading, inspire their imaginations and let them have fun with stories, while improving their language and literacy skills along the way. With an ever-growing library, suitable for preschool and primary aged children, it really is storytime, anytime. Use your Mid-Western Regional Council Library membership card to access Story Box Library online for free.
Cancellations
Unfortunately April screenings at the Town Hall Cinema have been cancelled, in line with the non-essential indoor gathering orders, so too events such as our Monday History Talk and Second Floor Poems. We do hope to see everyone back in the library again soon, stay safe and well in the meantime.
Happy reading, until the next chapter...
