Awesome holiday fun












It is hard to know where to start, we have been so busy in our branches since we reopened on the 5th and we can't believe the holidays are nearly over. There has been some great things happening for the children since the first week, we have had scrapbooking and collage workshops with Lynne Hume, painting workshops with Paul Gamble, Digital storytelling and podcasting with Daryll Bellingham (all of these stories are on the Austory blog which is linked on our homepage) and last night our special guest Summer Read author Steven Conte spoke at Radcliffes in Echuca. There is still more to come with all branches running game sessions this coming week, as well as a twilight storytime at Kyabram. We have also launched our bookcrossing zones at all our branches, for more information about that go to http://www.bookcrossing.com/ As well as all those activities our new Kyabram branch building works are well underway and we will moving in there in a few weeks time. And the plans for the new Echuca Library are available at the site, as well as the current Echuca Branch and Echuca Council Offices. We are in the detailed design phase which is getting very exciting, so hopefully this time next year we will be getting closer to moving in to the Echuca Community Hub Library.

We look forward to sharing more news about our great library service over the coming months.

But for now can we say a big thankyou to everyone for suppporting our holiday activities.
