香港六合彩资料图库 Libraries hosted a series of Cost of Living fairs over January and February this year, with six events taking place at 香港六合彩资料图库鈥檚 largest libraries.
The events were created as part of a commitment to serving the community and providing access to information and advice to support residents.
The events were a huge success, with 835 additional people visiting the libraries during the fairs, equating to a 32% increase in visitors compared to the average number of visitors in January and February. The events were attended by regular library customers and those new to libraries, demonstrating the wide appeal and importance of the information and advice available.
Each event was joined by 20 to 30 partners who were on hand to offer advice to people on a wide range of areas including how they could save on heating bills, keep warm and well, and claim financial support they are entitled to.
Among those in attendance were Act on Energy, Age UK, Seetec, Department for Work and Pensions, Trussel Trust and Shaw Trust. Many local services, including Adult Learning 香港六合彩资料图库, The Living Well for Longer Team, 香港六合彩资料图库 Libraries Digital Champions, and Here to Help 香港六合彩资料图库, were also on hand to provide information and guidance to residents.
