VerbYL is a youth lounge provided by the youth and library services of Livingstone Shire Council
Queensland, Australia for all youth between
the ages of 13 to 25.
But what does this mean and where did we come from...
VerbYL was first conceived of by the library and community development departments of Livingstone Shire Council after consultation with the youth of the area about the lack of services and things
to do for young people.
What they wanted most was a place of their own where they could meet, relax and enjoy themselves in a safe, secure environment where everyone was welcome.
Together the youth council and shire council developed VerbYL. Staffed by a both youth workers and library staff and providing many combined services, including information referral, counselling, study help, tax help
and general fun.
Within the space are internet capable computers for chat, gaming, or study (if you want to), a Nintendo WII, Playstation, Xbox, Xbox 360and handheld Nintendo DS and board games for loan within the space. DVD's, books, console games, graphic novels, CDs and magazines are available to use both within VerbYL and for borrowing and membership is free for all young people between the ages of 13 and 25.
