Hope everyone is enjoying books from our tiny library 📕. We currently don't have many children's books, so would love some donations of any children's books you have. If you have some, you can drop them into the centre or leave them in our tiny libraries. Thank you so much! 😀 🙏

We had a great time at Bunnings Chadstone as part of their Father’s Day celebration this evening. Our men's shed and volunteers helped bbq the sausages and onions, and gave out snags to many families who enjoyed the festivities. We also got to chat to people about what Alamein does.

Fun evening for all. Thank you Bunnings Chadstone for inviting us and an extra big thank you to our wonderful volunteers for helping us cook all the food. We've got such a lovely community that you guys create. 😊

RIP Dolly Parton

What an amazing woman! As well as a singer, songwriter, actress and business woman, did you know Dolly was a philanthropist? She believed that literacy was very important as she recognised her dad missed out on so many opportunities due to his low literacy skills. Dolly donated millions of dollars towards educational scholarships and set up the Imagination Library, which gives away millions of books each month to children to support their literacy.

Just like Dolly, we know how important literacy is in everyday life. That’s why we run our Literacy for Practical Purposes course (a literacy and English course for adults) and always have our tiny libraries packed with books for both adults and children. If you want to check out our libraries, remember they are open 24x7 just outside our centre and on the pocket park fence.

And if you want to know more about Dolly's Imagination Library, here's a link to it's background and more: https://imaginationlibrary.com/au/
