What a time we have had

The summer holidays are almost over and back to school next week for many. We would like to thank all the children and parents that participated in our Summer Reading Club and The Summer Read. We have had a fantastic response to all our activities with huge attendances. The children have enjoyed the 'read on the wild side' theme and it has been terrific using local experts to visit our libraries and share their knowledge about bugs and reptiles.

We also really enjoyed Maura the Clairvoyant Librarian who entertained and enthralled many visitors to the Port of Echuca last Wednesday. You still have time to take part in the Summer Read program, more details www.slv.vic.gov.au/goto/summer-read

There are some wonderful prizes to be won just by reading and recommending one of the Summer Read titles.

Our storytimes, book chats and book clubs are about to kick off for the year so keep your eyes on our website for more details.

If you would like to be notified of our special events please add your email address to your membership details when you pop in next, you will receive notifications about book requests, overdue books, as well as what is happening in our branches.

Welcome Back

Hi everyone, a warm wishes for a very Happy and Safe New Year. Our libraries have been tremendously busy during our first week back. The hot weather is bringing our visitors out early and looks like more hot weather is on the way. Yesterday we had 18 children attend our Jewellry Making activity at Rochester and 42 today at Echuca. Thanks for coming along, the jungle jewellry looked fabulous. There are two activities on next week which are Lion Masks and Bug Safari.
