Go in the running to win $100 voucher with Townsville CityLibraries

Have your say on Townsville CityLibraries with the We Love Our Libraries survey this month. The online survey takes a look at how locals use their libraries so Townsville City Council can better understand what residents’ library needs are. Community and Cultural Development Committee Chairperson, Councillor Colleen Doyle, said this was an easy way to make sure the city’s libraries were providing the best services for our community.

“We want to hear from you and find out what you love about your local library and what could be done even better,” Cr Doyle said. “Council is always looking for ways to improve the services that we offer, and this three-minute survey is a quick and easy way to know what you’d like to see at your library.” Cr Doyle said completing the We Love Our Libraries survey could be done two ways.

“It’s very easy to do the We Love Our Libraries survey. Simply fill out the survey online or in person at your favourite CityLibraries branch to have your say,” she said. “Once you’ve done that, you’ll be in the draw for a chance to win one of five $100 gift vouchers.”

To fill out the We Love Our Libraries survey, visit www.townsville.qld.gov.au. The survey is open until 29 February.

 

Pick up a pet to be yours pawever this Valentine’s Day

 

Add some love to your life this Valentine’s Day with Townsville City Council’s Lonely Hearts Valentine’s Sale.

 

The sale offers 50 per cent off all animals at Townsville City Council’s Animal Care and Adoption Centre.

 

Community Health and Environment Committee Chairperson, Councillor Ann-Maree Greaney, said the animals at the Centre were hoping to find their soulmates to live happily ever after with.

 

“From 8 February to 29 February, the Animal Care and Adoption Centre is reducing the price of the absolutely beautiful animals who just want to be able to give love to their forever families,” Cr Greaney said.

 

“These animals are all de-sexed, wormed, microchipped and have had their first vaccination, so they’re ready to head straight home as soon as they’ve found the right family for them.”

 

Cr Greaney said it was important to make sure animals at the Centre had a good chance of being taken into loving homes.

 

“These animals haven’t chosen to end up at our Animal Care and Adoption Centre, so we want to be able to find them new families and homes as quickly as we can,” she said.

 

“It doesn’t matter if you’re single, a couple, or a family with kids – there’s a cat or dog that will be a perfect fit for your home.

 

“If you already have a dog and want to adopt another, bring it along to the Centre for a meet and greet.”

 

The Lonely Hearts Valentine’s Sale runs from 8 February to 29 February.
