“We are pleased to be able to run the program from our newly refurbished library in Rushworth and it’s great to see an activity scheduled at the Colbinabbin library depot too.”
The holiday program features fun and educational activities, from beading bracelets to rock painting and family pizza and movie nights as well as the usual baby and toddler rhymetime sessions.
