A variety of helpful services are now available to residents on the Central Coast as libraries open their doors for the new year.
Starting on February 1, the book delivery service, Bookmobile, will be operating, ensuring those who live in nursing homes and who cannot easily access the library can still access reading materials.
While Central Coast libraries are open to the public, events and talks will continue to be streamlined online.
In conversation with Andrew Pippos is one of the upcoming online events to be held via zoom, which will feature Pippos talking about his new book, Lucky.
The saga, inspired by his own family life, is about the role of the Greek-Australian café within modern Australian identity, and how it is increasingly documented in popular culture and history books alike.
Booking for this event, to be held on February 17, can be made through the Central Coast Council website.
Central Coast Libraries offer eBooks, eAudiobooks and download music online for free, and it is possible to browse the free online research databases, access family history databases or find reading recommendations.
All libraries run under strict COVID-safe guidelines, which includes compulsory mask wearing, QR code sign in, and social distancing requirements.
