There are lots of free activities happening at your Logan City Council library in September.
Health, Sport and Community Services Committee Chairman, Councillor Phil Pidgeon, said residents could learn more about organic gardening, seeing eye dogs, numerology, the keys to personal happiness and much more.
"With the weather warming up, the libraries are a great place to stay cool and learn some very cool new skills, so put these dates in your diary and while you're there, check out the other services on offer at your library," Cr Pidgeon said.
