There are plenty of activities on for the kids during the winter school holidays at Campaspe libraries.
Library Services Manager, Jenny Mustey said the Echuca, Kyabram, Rochester, Rushworth and Tongala libraries will host fun and educational activities running from 1 – 12 July.
“The Echuca and Kyabram libraries will be hosting an Aussie animal mobile art exchange, which will give children the opportunity to send their artwork to Japan to be shared with our sister city, Shiroi,” Mrs Mustey said.
“Children are also encouraged to get creative at the Echuca Library by decorating guitars to be entered into the Winter Blues Festival competition.”
Additional activities include Bunnings craft, scratch masks and bookmarks, a family pizza and games night, learn to knit, learn to weave, movie screenings and the popular Tech Zone program.
