Toddler Rhymetimes, Storytimes, Baby Rhyme Times
A reminder that the library service provides weekly and/or monthly early literacy programs right throughout the year. The full list of each program session is available from the library website www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/library The sessions are all based on the premise that reading is a wonderful past time and important for each child's development, as well as being a great thing for parent and child to do together. Depending on the age group attending the sessions are a mixture of reading, songs, finger play activities and craft. All sessions are free and no need to book, just come along and join the fun. Great opportunity for parents to meet new people and socialise. During the summer holidays we will continue with storytimes, as well as great holiday activities. Keep an eye on our website for more details.

Successful seniors week
Campaspe Regional Library recently celebrated Victorian Seniors Festival with a number of interesting sessions from 'Upcycled Books' and 'iPad tips and tricks'. Thanks to everyone that came along, the feedback was terrific and we hope to offer more sessions about different uses of technology in the near future.
