Celebrating 10 years of Library Health Month!

For the past 10 years, Western Sydney Health District (WSLHD) and local Council libraries have worked together to bring trusted health and wellbeing information, programs and support into the heart of our communities.

On 31 August, we celebrated this incredible milestone alongside representatives from WSLHD, State Library NSW, local Councils, community organisations and library services from Cumberland City, Parramatta and The Hills.

And now, it’s time to celebrate with our communities! 🎉

Throughout September, Library Health Month is bringing a diverse program of free health and wellbeing activities to our libraries.

Whether you’re looking to learn something new, try a new activity, meet people in your community or discover ways to support your health and wellbeing, there’s something for everyone.

This week’s photographs were captured by George Nicolaidis OAM, a respected former Councillor and published historian, offering a fascinating glimpse into Blacktown’s past.
