Let’s Go Italian

What’s more Italian than fresh, creamy gelato? Watch Virginia and Luigi, our local gelato artisans and cultural ambassadors, as they share the art of creating this frozen favourite.

You’ll see how the flavours come together, pick up some insider tips and maybe even sample a scoop (or two).

This sweet session is perfect for all ages – bring the kids or come with friends for a sugar-coated afternoon.

Catch them at Bankstown (15 Aug), Campsie (22 Aug), Chester Hill (29 Aug), Riverwood (5 Sep), Panania (19 Sep), Earlwood (10 Oct), Padstow (17 Oct), and Greenacre (24 Oct).

Soft, pillowy and loaded with flavour – gnocchi is comfort food the Italian way.

Our live demos walk you through the process, from rolling the dough to that perfect fork mark.

You’ll learn the secrets behind creating light, melt-in-the-mouth gnocchi and hear stories about the Southern Italian traditions it comes from.

It’s a fun and interactive way to connect with Italian culture while picking up some kitchen skills to impress at home.

Join in at Bankstown (13 Sep), Lakemba (11 Oct), and Campsie (18 Oct) – and get ready to leave inspired (and maybe a little hungry).

Feel the rhythm of Sicily with Scupriri – a folk ensemble based in Sydney and known for their vibrant performances.

Their music blends traditional instruments, rich harmonies and an irresistible beat that will have you tapping along before you know it.

It’s the sound of village celebrations, seaside festivals and warm summer nights, all brought to life in your local library. Bring the whole family and enjoy a performance that’s as lively as it is authentic.

Catch Scupriri at Campsie (16 Aug), Chester Hill (23 Aug), and Bankstown (20 Sep) – and let their music transport you straight to the Mediterranean.
