The Hawkesbury Library also has an ongoing Summer Reading Club from 1 December 2023 until 31 January 2024. The SRC will have a coupon-based strategy to appeal to young readers, which can keep kids occupied during the holidays while they can redeem the coupons at the SRC early bird event next year.
All the upcoming events in the Hawkesbury Library Service are part of the Hawkesbury LMG (Library, Museum, and Gallery) activities over the school holidays.
Hawkesbury Central Library is on the ground floor of the Deerubbin Centre, located at 300 George Street in Windsor, while the Richmond Branch Library is at 29 West Market Street in Richmond.
