End of Summer Reading Club Party

Last Wednesday we had our End of Summer Reading Club Party where all participants received their certificate. We also had our major prize draw, an Ipod Nano (kindly donated by The Friends of Wingecarribee Library) along with 4 Lucky Door $25 Book vouchers.

Well done to all the boys & girls who participated in the summer reading club this summer. I hope everyone enjoyed reading over the holidays and I hope you all keep on reading. Make sure you all join our summer reading club again next summer holidays.

BINGO

This morning we had Bingo with 15 wonderful children aged from 5-12 years.

Everyone had a ball! Prizes were won by almost everyone, some winning two! Those who didn't win a game, didn't miss out, they also chose a prize. Our prizes included coloured erasers, packets of pens, diaries and more.

It's great to watch everyone sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for that one number so they can yell out BINGO!

Don't forget we have Magic Jester coming to the library on Monday 16 January from 2-3pm.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all.
We hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. If you are looking for something to do for the holidays why not join our Bingo or Magic Jester. If you are interested just look on our website for more details.
Just before Christmas we had Christmas craft at all the branches and also on our ROADS vechile out at Robertson. Everyone made a beautiful Christmas Card, magnet and a calendar.
