"Working towards a positive and sustainable future with our communities is a big priority for our libraries," said Goldfields Libraries chief executive Mark Hands.

"So, we're excited to have an entire day where we can share knowledge, learn simple ways to improve climate change, and perhaps most importantly, have fun doing it."

A focus of the day will be the launch of the library's new Sustainable House Kits.

With the support of the City of Greater Bendigo, the kits will soon be available for the community to borrow and use at home.

Each kit contains a thermal imaging camera, a PowerMate energy measuring device and a copy of 'The Energy-Freedom Home' book.
