Campaspe Shire Libraries plan to keep the kids busy these school holidays with a range of fun and free activities on offer across all five library branches.

General Manager Development, Paul McKenzie said it’s good to see such an extensive range of activities and programs return to our libraries, given the past two years of online programs, or very limited numbers allowed.

Week one has a range of Easter craft activities and movie afternoons, followed by more craft in week two, making terracotta jugs, wind socks and gumnut mobiles.

“The highlight of the library school holiday program is South African storyteller and musician, Valanga Khoza,” Mr McKenzie said.

“Families can enjoy some lively singing and drumming as Valanga weaves traditional South African instruments into his storytelling.”
