It really pays to keep in touch with your local Council's event calendar for ongoing events throughout the year, and generally, the best part is that most of them are free. Here are a few presented by Darebin Libraries for the month of August 2024. First up on the Thursday 1 August 7-8pmAEST is First Thursday Book Nook at Preston Library, 266 Gower St, Preston. A free event, click here to reserve your spot. Run monthly, this is the last date thus far, for the year. It's a relaxed book chat event where you connect with other people through friendly conversation and a mutual love of words. They'd love to hear what you've been reading - be it a book, a poem, an audiobook, or even a magazine article. Turn solitary reading into a shared experience. Refreshments provided.

Device Advice is also a free event where you can book a one-on-one Device Advice session, and have your tricky tech questions answered by a friendly digital team. Learn how to download an app, attach documents and photos to an email, use the library’s digital resources and more. Help is also available for basic troubleshooting and set-up of your mobile devices. Book here (essential) for Thursday 22 August AEST for the one session remaining at Preston Library, 266 Gower St, Preston.

Protecting Darebin Creek Wildlife is for those who want to learn about the fauna found along the creek, and the everyday actions you can take to support it.

Come along on Thursday 8 August 2024 from 7-8pm at Preston Library as above, to learn about the simple things you can do to help these species. Be sure to book your free spot here .
