Sessions not held during school holidays

Justice of the Peace

JPs and CDecs are trained Queenslanders who can witness and certify your routine legal documents. For example, wills, affidavits, statutory declarations and enduring documents. This program is run by volunteers at Beaudesert, Boonah, Canungra and Tamborine Mountain Libraries. Occasionally circumstances prevent these volunteers from being available as per the timetable.

Poetry

At Tamborine Mountain Library there is a poetry group that meets once a month to get creative.

Small Business Hub

A representative from Department of Small Business Trading Queensland Government is available at various times and days at the library to assist.

Yak and Yarn/Knitting

Knitting groups meet regularly at Beaudesert and Tamborine Mountain. These groups often contribute to local community projects such as Yarn Bombing.

U3A

Beaudesert Library hosts activities and discussion groups for the Beaudesert U3A organisation. Beaudesert U3A promotes the joy of learning for the sake of learning, and seeks to open up new horizons for its members unrestricted by the requirements of vocation or the desire for qualifications. It does so, principally by drawing upon the extensive life experience, skills and energies of members.
