Life long learning at the library



From Financial Information Seminars, History Workshops and Trivia – to Cake Club, Origami and Knitting Clubs, there is something for all ages, interests and abilities at our Rockhampton Regional Council Libraries.

This year, a special series of talks from our Rockhampton History Centre staff will highlight a range of topics of interest for researchers and family historians.

The very popular Financial Information Seminars, led by staff from Services Australia will feature at all the Rockhampton branches throughout the year, and offer opportunities to ask questions in a relaxed setting.

Every month a new Puzzle Activity and Colouring booklet is distributed across all library branches with heaps of activities to occupy the mind and increase brain health.

Of course all their workshops and talks are free (and library membership is free too).

For more information or to book a seat at a workshop, please call the Library Administration on phone 49368 043 or email libraries@rrc.qld.gov.au.
