25.01.2022 It’s Council election time here at Yarra! From midday today until 6pm on Saturday 24 October we must comply with special arrangements in the lead up to elections, known as the Election Period. This is to ensure that Council actions don't interfere with the election process and that it's fair and equal for all. Our latest eNewsletter will keep you up-to-date with all that's happening at the library during this time; we'll be back posting from Monday 26 October.
