National Carers Week started on Sunday 11 October. It's a time to recognise, celebrate and raise awareness of the more than 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care to a family member or friend.

Did you know that carers are able to access the Home Library Service? If you don't have time to make it to the library while providing daily care, volunteer couriers can deliver library books, DVDs and more to you.

Contact your local library to register, or join online: https://bit.ly/4dGfGBq

This week is Anti-Poverty Week (Sunday 11 October – Saturday 17 October), with the aim of helping Australians understand poverty and take action collectively to end it.

Signing up for a library membership is free and gives you access to lots of free resources including books, movies, video games, magazines and our online eLibrary.

Use your library membership to check out these titles on poverty to help grow your understanding of the topic:

📚 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘍𝘪𝘹: 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘵 by Keetie Roelen (non-fiction) – exposes the realities of poverty and reveals why policies don't work. It is a radical rethink of current efforts to tackle poverty, what it means and how we break the cycle.

📚 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 by Tom Percival (junior fiction) – Will has the wrong shoes, he's always known it but doesn't know how to change it. Navigating the difficulties of home and school when you feel you stick out is tough, but finding confidence with the help and empathy of friends can be all you need to see the way.

📚 𝘈 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 by Matthew Hooper (adult fiction) – set between the wars in the foothills of Mount Kosciusko, this is a story of fourteen-year-old Beth. Beth’s brother and father have gone missing in a freak winter storm. Tensions flare in this novel that captures rural poverty and human capacity with true soul.
