26 March 2018 - Media release
Keep children’s minds active these school holidays with an entertaining line up of fun, free activities across Campaspe Regional Library Services.
Library Services Manager Jenny Mustey said over the two weeks of school holidays, activities have been planned across all five library branches.
“Our Easter holiday program is always a fun one with lots of arts, crafts, tech time and storytime for children of all ages,” Ms Mustey said.
All the usual favourites will be available including movie afternoons, rhymetime, storytime, and craft activities with Robot Zoo and Animal Habitats featuring as new and exciting additions to the line up.
Robot Zoo is an initiative of Regional Arts Victoria for children aged eight and over to invent and build a creature for an adventure film. This activity is scheduled in Echuca and Kyabram with bookings essential.
“This exciting 90 minute workshop requires children to use specialist building techniques to create replica animals which will form a Robot Zoo,” Ms Mustey said.
Animal Habitats is a fantastic opportunity for children to learn about the habitats of native Australian animals.
“Designed for children aged four and over, this activity allows children to explore and learn about different Australian animals. Children can also be creative, decorating a terracotta animal and craft a habitat for it to live in,” Ms Mustey said.
To tie in with the national movie release of Peter Rabbit, Campaspe Libraries will also be running ‘seek and find’ activities throughout the holidays.
“If you are looking for something to entertain the children for a few hours, or you’re after a great book to read, I’d encourage you to visit one of our libraries these school holidays,” Ms Mustey added.
