You Can Make a Difference

Casey Cardinia Libraries mission is to encourage life-long learning, increase literacy and build strong resilient communities across the Casey Cardinia Region.

Casey Cardinia Libraries is largely funded by contributions from Cardinia Shire Council, City of Casey and the Victorian State Government.

We also receive support through partnerships with organisations like Windermere and Anglicare who fund dedicated programs designed to deliver better literacy outcomes in our community.

We welcome support from organisations and individuals who share our values and are willing to contribute to our vision and mission.

Donate

In Casey Cardinia, there are many older or vulnerable people who are unable to leave their homes and access their community. Worse still, they may be unable to afford internet, e-readers and computers to help the time pass and connect to others. Sadly, for many people in our community, this is everyday life.

With your support, these people can feel less alone. Since March 2020, our library has been delivering book bags, audio books, and digital services to people in their homes.  To continue the delivery service, we need your help.
