WHAT'S HAPPENING?
November saw us a little light on staff here at the CRC, which led to a couple of Friday closures. We appreciate your understanding.
Despite this, Jess and Jenny still made their way to the Show to represent the CRC and promote our services to the community. Meanwhile, our small team has remained busy serving our wonderful customers, producing the new Community Directory, planning upcoming events (we're especially excited for the return of the Art Awards in 2025!), and coordinating care through the Staying in Place program. We have also tested out our NEW eID scanning reader for cattle, sheep and goats which is available to hire, thanks to a grant from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. Our Stories, Rhymes & Fun Times sessions also saw great attendance on several occasions throughout November. The sessions were filled with fun and energy, which is always great to see! If you have a little one between 0-5, you can join Andrea each Thursday from 10-11am at the library for storytelling, songs, crafts, and more. December will see us wind up for the year with our closure dates being from 4pm, December 24 and reopening at 9am, January 2. However, there are still some events for you to get involved with....
The CRC’s Staff and Management Committee wish our members and the Boyup Brook community a safe and wonderful festive season. See you again in 2025.

2024-25 CRC MEMBERSHIPSLIBRARY UPDATE2024 at a glance
Throughout this year, we’ve had over 3,500 interactions with people making use of the library! We’ve also welcomed approximately 450 new items on to our shelves - hopefully this has included something for everyone to enjoy. By the time Christmas is here, we will have run around 70 Better Beginnings sessions over the Thursdays of 2024. Christmas Closure The last date to return items in 2024 will be December 24, with the next opportunity being when we open again in 2025 on January 2. As we approach the closure period, due dates will be automatically adjusted to accommodate the dates so there’ll be no need to worry about overdue items! During the closure period, Better Beginnings sessions will also be paused at the library. Our first session back for 2025 will coincide with our re-opening day, January 2; if you can make it, we’d love to see you! RECYCLING HUB
1 Tonne Recycled!
The Recycling Hub continues to attract many users and a recent report showed that more than 1 tonne of hard-to-recycle items, have now been diverted from our landfill!
