(27 October 2020) The Fairfield local government area is hoping to introduce the Libraries After Dark program, first trialled in Victoria, to its communities.
Marie Saliba from Core Community Services, which operates in south-west Sydney and represents the local communities in the area said: “There aren’t as many options for families that are away from alcohol, away from gambling venues, and we hope that by utilising existing infrastructure in the area, by just allowing libraries to stay open a little longer, it provides an alternative option for people who may feel isolated”.
