The never-before-seen program includes brain training, crafts and movie screenings which will take place on weekdays across the two libraries.
Big Sky Libraries manager Sally Walters said it's incredibly important for libraries to be well-utilised by groups across the community.
"Although we offer a comprehensive children's program, I have been interested in developing an adults' program for quite some time," she said.
"The Brain Training will run for 10 weeks in Moree and six weeks in Mungindi and is designed to improve mental function, memory, and concentration. This program is a great one; cognitive training is important to continue throughout life to ensure our memory stays sharp and our brain continues to function at its full capacity.
"The craft sessions are designed to be fun and social; at the Moree Community Library, material will be provided to participants to make items like blankets for local organisations while the program at the Mungindi Library will be more independent and members will be encouraged to bring in their own craft projects along, have a cup of tea or coffee and a chat."
