    Overdue: Yarra Libraries Community Outreach

    TW: This podcast contains discussion of suicide. This is a challenging topic, and we would like listeners to know that there is help available if this is triggering for you. You can call Lifeline on 13 11 14, and the suicide call back service on 1300 659 467. Beyond Blue also offers support on 1300 224 636. Episode title: Overdue: Yarra libraries Community Outreach (English) Presenters: Quinn, Kylie & Dylan During the first 2020 Covid lockdown Yarra Libraries found ourselves shut down as a non essential service, despite that many people in the community rely on us for basic access to the internet/information and other vital services. Yarra Libraries management decided to ‘bring the library to the community’ by dramatically expanding our community outreach and partnerships with food programs, supporting residents with digital literacy/vaccine certificates, and by sharing books, toys, Covid information updates and anything else that people needed. In this episode Yarra resident and Yarra council access worker Quinn speaks with Yarra Library Community Engagement, Outreach & Partnerships team Dylan and Kylie about how he got involved with Yarra Libraries through the food program, and how working with the libraries during the pandemic has changed his life over the last 2 years. *** The Yarra Libraries Overdue podcast is produced by and for culturally and linguistically diverse communities in the City of Yarra in multiple languages. The Covid-19 pandemic has kickstarted many overdue conversations. This podcast makes space for community members to share their personal insights and experiences. The pandemic has shown us that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work, and exposed a lack of culturally appropriate government support for these communities. The Yarra Libraries Overdue podcast calls for more support to help determine and co-create community based solutions to ongoing challenges. This podcast is co-produced by community members from different Yarra projects and organisations working with Yarra Libraries to raise awareness around covid messaging and community-based responses. Overdue is facilitated and produced by Yarra Libraries, and supported by the Victorian Government through the Priority Response to Multicultural Communities during Coronavirus (PRMC) program. #yarralibraries #librarieschangelives #podcast #cityofYarra #CALDcommunities #coronavirus #COVID19 #COVID19vaccines #COVID19VicData Thumbnail image: Quinn, Kylie & Dylan at Fitzroy Library Image Description: Mid shot of a woman standing between two men.
