The Lifelong Learning Section consists of the Public Libraries, Museums and Galleries, the Community Education Service, Sport, Arts and Cultural Development Services and Childcare Services. The section offers a range of exciting learning opportunities for people of all ages.

A key feature of the section is its delivery of activities for young people in schools or in their communities. The section works with young people through a wide range of activities that encourage creativity and ambition and support the development of citizenship. Childcare Services help to make sure that children and young people are healthy, happy, safe and achieving their potential.

Adult learning supported activities are developed in partnership with individuals and groups and delivered in local communities through our Libraries Services, the Community Education Service and Museums and Galleries. Local learning centres have been developed in Maybole, Dailly, Lochside, Dalmilling and Troon. Others are planned for future development. Help with literacy or numeracy is also available to individuals and groups.
