The Brain Train by Blue Mountains Library

Notes: In the lead-up to HSC exams, Blue Mountains Library launched the ‘Brain Train’ at Springwood and Katoomba branches to support the growing number of student study visitors. Operated by library staff, the Brain Train delivered snacks and drinks directly to study desks, helping students stay focused and feel supported. More than just refreshments, the initiative fostered a sense of community and encouragement during a high-pressure time.
