Bugs, books and council services

Young and curious minds received a peek into the miniature world of bugs on Tuesday, April 18 as part of Altona Library’s launch of its Council+ services.

Altona Library hosted a bug day where visitors can meet and learn about a range of spiders and insects that live above and below the ground.

Visitors of all ages enjoyed a number of activities, including face painting, story time and a scavenger hunt.

Altona Library has joined Laverton Community Hub, Seabrook Community Centre, Altona North Community Library, Hobsons Bay Civic Centre and the Williamstown and Altona Meadows libraries in becoming a Council+ site, allowing visitors to access a number of council services from applying for permits to paying rates, upsizing their bins and more.

Star Weekly photographer Jacob Pattison visited the Altona Library to capture the fun.
