The latest ploy by Logan City Council to get Logan residents in libraries and reading could see you win an iPad.
Locals who download the Logan Libraries App and become members by the end of February have the chance to win one of two iPads.
Those who are already members but haven’t yet downloaded the app can still be in the running if they install the app on their smartphones or tablets.
“We encourage everyone to become a member and this summer is the perfect time to head to your local library to discover some great content,” council’s lifestyle chair Cr Tony Hall said.
“A wonderful world of curiosity, life-long learning and imagination is available through our libraries and online.
“Help is available with things such as homework, finding great reading material, navigating technology and writing winning resumes.”
Beenleigh residents Mauricio and Edna Cassella and their five children are regular borrowers from their local library.
Mr Cassella said his children, aged between four and 12-years-old, all loved reading and regularly attended library activities.
“It gives them access to information away from screens,” he said.
“You get what you want and if you have any questions you can ask the staff.”
His daughter, eight-year-old Rosalena, said accessing the libraries had helped improve her reading skills.
Residents have until 8pm on Thursday 29 February to download the app
The app – launched last year – offers free collections, services, activities and events via smartphones and tablets.
Library membership benefits include:
- Over 680,000 items for all ages and interests to explore, read, watch or listen to.
- Access to books, movie and music streaming, and online versions of magazines and newspapers.
- Accessing free public computers and Wi-Fi.
- Connecting with others through a wide range of free activities and events for all ages throughout the year.
- Printing, copying and scanning services.
- Activities for reading, playing, singing and talking with children.
- and “escaping the heat and everyday concerns in the library’s cool, relaxing spaces which are open to everyone” council said.
