🌍✨ This past week we have celebrated Cultural Diversity Week across all our branches and out in the community. From Daizy Maan and Natasha Pinto talking about `Growing Up Indian In Australia`, to the flamenco guitar stylings of Alejandro Florez; from bilingual storytimes in Woi-wurrung (thanks Rebecca and Remy from the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation), Italian, Vietnamese, Spanish and Arabic, to popping up at Mediterranean Fiesta at Centreway; to all of the #LoveYourLibraryInYourLanguage postcards we received (just a small sample shared here!), we`ve truly been on a journey around the world.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in embracing and celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures that make our Moonee Valley a truly special place. 🎉📚

#FlashbackFriday ⏳ Another serene scene, this time overlooking the future site of the Maribyrnong River Viaduct, sometime between 1924 and 1940. Can you spot the cow? 🐄👀
