Clayton Library

Preschool storytimes, a Homework Club and Seniors Internet Club are just three of the features in the new Clayton Library.

The library will house a collection of 50,000 items and 12 computers with Internet access.

The new library will operate seven days a week and feature additional floor space including an expanded children's area, opportunities for both private and group study, a reading terrace and two community meeting rooms available for hire. A bi-fold door connecting the two rooms enable them to be used as one large room.

Regular activities at the library include Preschool Storytimes on Mondays at 11.00am, and Cyberkidz for kids in Grades 3 – 6 on the third Monday of each month at 4pm.

There is Homework Club for secondary students Tuesdays from 4.00pm – 7.30pm, Wednesdays from 4.00pm to 6.00 pm and Thursdays from 6.00pm to 8.00pm during school term.

A new Seniors Internet Club starts on 17 April and will meet on the third Thursday of each month at 10.00am – 12noon.

Patrons will be able to bring a coffee and tea into the new library while they read a magazine or newspaper in the lounge area. Resources for Clayton's CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) communities will also be prominent in this new space.

Monash's Manager of Information and Arts, Jenny Ruffy, said that there would also be author talks and workshops, including those scheduled for the Monash Literature Festival 2008.

"his fabulous new facility gives us a wonderful venue to host events during the Monash Literature Festival and throughout the whole year," said Ms Ruffy.
