Knitting Circle

If you enjoy meeting up with other Knitters / crocheters to stitch and chat, or want to learn these crafts, then come along and join our friendly group, many of whom knit for charities. Learn new techniques, exchange ideas or find inspiration for your next project.

There are Knitting Circles at all three Cockburn Libraries.  Sessions are free. New people are always welcome.

Book Club

Do you enjoy reading books and then discussing them with others? The Cockburn Libraries’ Book Clubs are a great opportunity to read new authors and engage in lively discussions and debates. They are also a great way to make new friends in a social environment.

Coolbellup Community Cafe and Support Group

People with disabilities and their carers are very welcome.

Homegrown Fruit and Veg Swap

MONTHLY EVENT: FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, 10AM TO 11.00AM AT COOLBELLUP HUB.

If you have an oversupply of home-grown fruit or veggies (or home-made produce), bring them along to the Fruit & Veg Swap at the Coolbellup Hub (the building where the Coolbellup Library is located)

The Fruit & Veg Swap is a process of sharing rather than trading; no money changes hands.

HOW IT WORKS:

• Bring home-grown or home-made produce, that you don’t need and are happy to give freely to our community.
• As well as fruit, veg and herbs, this can include seeds, seedlings or cuttings, compost or vermiculture (worms) , flowers, etc. & even small plant pots and seedling trays.
• Eggs and preserves are welcome – Swappers, you need to be aware that you take these products “at your own risk“.
• No meat or dairy please. – No refrigeration will be available.
• Take whatever you need and can definitely use. Stick around for a cuppa and a chat after!
• No money changes hands and there is no weighing or calculating.
• Any leftover food will be donated to charity.

Please bring your own bags to take your fruit and veg home in.

The Fruit & Veg Swap is just as much about swapping skills, wisdom, ideas and community building, as it is about good, healthy food!
