LOGAN North Library celebrated its 10th anniversary through the month of October.
Lifestyle and community committee chair Councillor Steve Swenson said more than 2 million people have visited the library since its opening at Sports Drive and more 4,300,000 had been borrowed.
Library staff had fulfilled more than 770,000 requests for quality information, readers’ advisory and technology assistance.
“Some of the unique services offered at Logan North Library are its four thriving book clubs (the largest number of book clubs for our nine libraries) and the Accessibility Centre.
“The Be Connected for older Australians program has operated through the commitment of skilled computing volunteers.
“The library also hosted regular family history programs run by experienced volunteer researchers.”
Cr Swenson said over the past decade author talks and Queensland Writers Centre workshops for budding writers had been popular.
“Logan North patrons embrace every author and creative that has ever visited and are keen to learn these skills themselves.”
Cr Swenson said children’s programs under an enchanting fairy tree were also extremely popular with strong visitor numbers.
He said a special celebration on October 31 will bring the month long anniversary celebrations to a close.
