Get involved with Library Lovers’ Day:
Library Song Choir - February 14-15
Experience the joy of social singing with Jen Young from the Sunshine Coast Show Choir. Libraries invite members to master the tune, learn the words and harmonise in a love-themed group sing-along. No singing experience is needed and everyone is encouraged to come along!
