- Learn how to borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks at Launceston Library.

Adults can connect with free learning opportunities at libraries in their local communities such as:

- developing reading, writing and maths skills, and digital skills
- craft, author talks, gaming, film showings
- researching family history.
People are welcome to come into the library at any time to chat about learning and find out about free resources and support in a welcoming space.

Adult Learners Week highlights the importance of lifelong learning in supporting personal growth. At Libraries Tasmania we encourage everyone to take that first step, discover a new passion and learn something different every day.”
