It will soon be Children's Book Week but here at Campaspe we celebrate the annual Children's Book Council event all month. Each branch is conducting Children's Book Week sessions which acknowledge the wonderful Children's authors and illustrators and the fantastic stories that have been produced by them. The Branch Librarians and Children's Services Coordinator Linda have developed some great activities for the children and teachers to undertake when they visit the library. We thank our friends at Zart Art that are always inspirational when it comes to ideas for art and craft activities. Please visit one of our branches to view the nominated books, the winning authors and illustrators will be announced later in the month.
A reminder also that we have a large range of Premier's Reading Challenge books that have recently been purchased through additional funding from the State Government. The books in the challenge are easily identifiable with PRC stickers on them. We thank our Local Member Paul Weller for officially launching the collection recently when guest author Leigh Hobbs visited Echuca.
