Campaspe Shire general manager community Keith Oberin said the festive week was crammed full of activities for every interest.

He said Campaspe libraries never missed an opportunity to celebrate the joy of reading, learning and creating social connections.

“Our libraries do a fantastic job in supporting many community pursuits and giving opportunities to residents who otherwise would not have access to reading material, social clubs and digital resources,” Mr Oberin said.

“From Monday, July 25, to Sunday, July 31, we invite all Campaspe Shire residents to participate in the activities planned.

“We encourage everyone to re-engage with their local library and explore what resources are available to you.”

Performers from the Winter Blues Festival, which is this weekend, will be performing at Echuca Library during the weekend.
