Happy New 'National Year of Reading"

Welcome to 2012, a year full of wonderful new books and heaps of fatastic events across the nation to celebrate the National Year of Reading.  All of our library branches re-opened today with many people visiting early to beat the heatwave. 

This week we have a few things happening.  On Thursday we have Amazing Pets holiday activity at our Rushworth branch, starting at 10.30am. The same session is running at Echuca on Friday morning from 10.30am.  This activity is free.

Already we have seen many children bringing in their Amazing Read reading logs to collect their reading rewards along the way.  It is free to join and each child receives a pool pass courtesy of the Echuca Pool which is fabulous.   We have a great range of free or low cost holiday activities so please look on our website or pick up a schedule from one of our library branches today.  Next week the Scientwists will be appearing at the Kyabram Branch on Tuesday morning (10th) at 10.30am.   Other activities include Amazing Pets and Magnets.

This coming Thursday we have our second Library Bytes Radio program at 10am on EMFM Community Radio.  We will be talking about a range of things including Our Story, audio books and the Summer holiday activities.

A reminder that voting for our story concludes on January 6th, information for this is available at http://www.abc.net.au/arts/yearofreading/
