Memory Loss and Dementia Collection
A growing number of people in our community are living with dementia and often stop reading for pleasure at quite an early stage. Our selection of materials aims to encourage more people with dementia to continue reading, or for family members/carers to be encouraged to read with them. You can find them by following the link to our website or asking a librarian.
Sewing Machines
We have seven Brother sewing machines which users can borrow for up to two weeks (for $5) to work on projects in the comfort of their own home.
Each machine comes with scissors, pins and needles, tape measure, seam ripper, bobbins and black and white thread. You can place a hold on a machine by finding them through our catalogue. If you aren’t sure what to make, why not take a look through our collection of sewing books and wait for inspiration to strike.
If you aren't a member, or need to use a machine now, you can drop into the Elma Turner Library or the Nightingale Library Memorial. Both branches have one sewing machine available for public use in the library. These operate on a first-come-first-served basis and cannot be reserved.
Please ensure you are confident using a sewing machine before loaning.
