Community Centre Meeting Room Books for sale, books wanted

CIRS MANAGES THE Rainbow Beach Community Centre and Hall on behalf of Gympie Regional Council. The hall bookings raise funds to cover costs such as public liability insurance, cleaning products, toilet paper and general maintenance costs for the hall.

We are an unfunded community centre offering office services such as printing, laminating, scanning, computer and internet access for a small fee. CIRS members receive a 50% discount.

Membership is $5/year and due on 1 January each year. Renewal notices will be emailed this

AS THE AIR-CONDITIONERS are still out of action, CIRS have moved all office bookings to the meeting room next door, between CIRS and Rainbow Beach Library.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, employment and disability employment services provider APM will now meet with clients in the meeting room instead of the office. It is a light and airy space for meetings with better natural ventilation and its own entrance for more privacy.

Bookings are required for the meeting room and hire charges are the same as for the office : $30 for half day, $54 for full day. To book, call in during office hours, call 5486 3355 or email rainbowbeachcommunitycentre@gmail.com month and new members sign up at the CIRS office. We are now open Wednesdays so drop in Mon-Fri 8.30am to 4pm.

We also sell secondhand books for $1 or $2 and offer an exchange system to provide cheap access to some good reading.

Our longest-serving volunteer Val Davison sells books on Saturday from 8.30am to 12.30pm so pop in and say hello. You’ll recognise Val by her impeccable style of matching accessories. We gladly accept donations of books any time, and if you are interested in becoming a volunteer bookseller, we would love to hear from you.
