What's on at the library this August?
Wimmera Libraries have a wide range of events coming up this August, catering to several ages and interests.
Super Sonic Storytime – Fridays, 10.30am – 11.30am at the Horsham Library
Books, songs and games around a ‘sound of the week’ for preschoolers.

Have your say on Wimmera Libraries
The Wimmera Libraries community is invited to help shape the future of their local library services as part of a Library Services Survey.
The Library Services Survey seeks input from all residents—both library members and non-members—to help ensure that Wimmera Libraries stay accessible, sustainable, and responsive. Whether you visit regularly, occasionally, engage online, or access services from home, your feedback is vital in guiding growth and development.
The survey takes only a few minutes, and invites feedback on everything from programs and collections to the spaces and services the libraries currently provide. It’s an important part of making sure the Wimmera Libraries stay responsive, inclusive, and community-led.
Community members are invited to share their experiences and ideas via the Library Services Survey until 25 August via Council’s ‘Engage Horsham - Have your Say’ webpage Wimmera Libraries Library Services Survey Have Your Say
Complete the survey
Feedback received via the survey will help guide future services and improvements to Wimmera Libraries. For more information about the survey, contact 5382 1777 or email info@wimmeralibraries.vic.gov.au.
