Events this week at Randwick City Library
Our regular program of events and activities was interrupted due to COVID-19. As many of the restrictions are now being lifted, you will find our regular program gradually being phased back in. We have been developing a range of activities and events that we are excited to deliver to you - some will be in-person, others will be online, and some events may even be both in-person and online!
Our activities change from week to week, so be sure to check back again or join our e-newsletter to ensure you never miss out on what's new or what's happening at Randwick City Library.
Please note: This listing is just our next 10 events. To view all our upcoming events, please see our full events calendar.
