Also celebrating anti-discrimination of our LGBTQI+ community at Terang Library. Colour in the chalk drawing outside or colouring pages inside or create some rainbow jewelry with colourful beads....

The rainbow chalk artwork outside Camperdown Library is looking fantastic, with the community coming together to create a bright and colourful display.

Our library branches are hosting IDAHOBIT activities today and tomorrow, including chalk art, jewellery making, colouring and access to LGBTQIA+ resources.

IDAHOBIT – the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia – is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion, while recognising the discrimination still experienced by LGBTQIA+ communities.

These activities help create welcoming spaces where everyone can feel seen, safe and supported.
