Library program update

Published on 29 January 2026

Following the recent bushfires, all libraries are open during regular operating hours.

To help us support the community during this emergency period, most library programs are temporarily postponed. This is expected to be for the next couple of weeks while library spaces are prioritised for connection, support and recovery. Visit our Bushfire Information Hubs page to learn more.

Libraries remain a safe, welcoming place for the community, with the following services continuing to operate as normal:

• Walk‑up technical help for personal phones and devices.
• Group Tech Talk sessions held each week.

Community members can continue to access the following:

• Technical support for personal devices
• Public‑use computers to access online services
• Books, eBooks, audiobooks and magazines from the full Yarra Plenty Regional Library network
• Digital library services, including movie streaming, eBooks and audiobooks
• Phone, laptop and tablet charging
• Printing and scanning
• Water, tea and coffee
• Air‑conditioned spaces, including during power outages
• A comfortable place for people of all ages to relax, read or work
• Indoor children’s spaces for reading and play
• Desk space for study or work (quiet space, not guaranteed silence)
• Board games and puzzles
• Friendly, welcoming staff

We hope to resume Storytime, Musictime, movie groups, writers, craft, book groups and other library‑led programs soon. Please keep an eye on Facebook and our website for updates.
