Campaspe Library Branches are now gearing up for Children's Book Week which we promote all through August in our storytimes and school visits. We kick off this coming Monday with four classes from St Marys visiting the Echuca Branch. The students will hear about the Shortlist nominated titles, hear a couple of stories and create some craft related to the book or the theme. We really appreciate the support of all schools in our Shire and we anticipate that between 600-700 children will participate in the activities over the month. We are lucky that we have such clever
and enthusiastic staff who have worked out the program together and who all look forward to meeting the staff and students from their local schools. The theme this year is One World Many Stories which is a fantastic theme to promote. It is wonderful to celebrate and recognise the diverse makeup of Australia, there are so many wonderful cultural stories, including our own Indigenous ones. So here's to a busy and happy month, we hope all the sessions go really well.
