This is to coincide with the region’s major retailers and supermarkets eliminating single-use plastic bags.
The giveaway is limited to one library bag per library member while stocks last.

“Each library member is eligible to receive the free reusable library bag which can double as an eco-friendly shopping bag,” Ms McAlister said.
“We hope this initiative will encourage more members of the community to visit their local library. It is also a way to say thank you to our regular borrowers,” she said.
Ms McAlister said it’s a great time to visit the local library.
“Now is a great time to register for a free library card and discover all of the fantastic services the library has on offer. In addition to being able to borrow up to 20 items, library members can also experience a range of engaging and exciting programs including technology classes, coding and robotics workshops, Lego clubs, children’s story time, book clubs and author visits,” Ms McAlister said.
