Library holiday program with a difference
Published on 18 December 2020
Campaspe Library Services’ holiday program has combined face to face with virtual activities this year.
Library Services Manager, Jenny Mustey said children don’t have to wait until next year to get started, with a ‘Community Adventure’ activity challenge sheet available for collection from library branches, or online at www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/library.
“Children have the opportunity to win fantastic prizes, thanks to Bolinda Publishing and the National Gallery of Victoria, by completing as many of the challenges as they can by Friday, 22 January,” Mrs Mustey said.
“When libraries reopen on Monday, 4 January, families can look forward to face to face craft sessions, Rhymetime and a teddy bear picnic.”
“Be sure to pop in to your local library branch and pick up a ‘take and make’ bag from Monday, 4 January to Friday, 8 January.”
“The take and make bags unlock great ‘at home’ activities taking place from Monday, 11 January through to Friday, 22 January.”
