Special literary events coming up

We are so fortunate to offer so many wonderful literary events this year.  Tonight we have the final of the Campaspe Murray Writers Group Poetry Competition kicking off at 6pm.  Congratulations to all those who entered and especially to the winning entries.  We look forward to hearing the poems being performed tonight. 
This week we have a special guest author Shane Maloney who will be in Kyabram on Wednesday as part of the State Library of Victoria "High Road to Reading" program.  Shane will be speaking to students at St Augustine's School in the morning and then everyone is welcome to join us at 2pm for an afternoon event.  It is free to come along and bookings via our website are preferred. 
On Sunday we have representatives from SCOPE and Community Living and Respite Services presenting what they provide to our communities.  The session will be at 2.30 at the Campaspe Regional Library, Echuca. 
On Saturday 12 April the Echuca Branch is hosting Torre De Roche as part of the Summer Read Program also provided by the State Library of Victoria.  The morning session "In conversation with Torre" will kick off at 10.30am, again bookings are preferred via the library website. 
Keep an eye out for more events that are planned for rest of the year, there are some sensational guests coming along.
