The next branch meeting is scheduled for Thursday, 12 June at 9:00am at the QCWA Hall on Palm Street, Forrest Beach. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month, beginning at 9:30am following a morning tea catch-up.
“Whether your interest lies in lending a hand to local causes, enjoying social time with others, or learning something new, there is something here for you.”
Throughout the week, the branch hosts a variety of regular activities.
On Monday mornings at 9:00am, Healthy Living sessions offer gentle exercise followed by morning tea and a relaxed opportunity for conversation and connection.
The library, stocked with donated books, is open on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings from 9:00am, where visitors can browse, borrow, or purchase books for a gold coin donation.
