Seniors Month

From 1-31 October we are celebrating older Queenslanders and their ongoing contribution to the state - whether as volunteers or in the workforce, community leaders or carers, grandparents, or advocates.

Throughout the month community groups and organisations are hosting inclusive events and activities throughout the state.

Seniors Month is all about increasing the social connectedness of older people and their communities because we all want to be:

• Connected to our communities and the important people in our lives.
• Cared for and supported if care and support are needed.
• Celebrated as valued community members.

Celebrate your journey and the people in your life with events at libraries this October.
