School holiday fun

SCHOOL holidays are here and the Kerang, Cohuna and Barham libraries have Easter-themed activities planned to keep children busy throughout.

Crafts, stories and games will be held at the three libraries over the next two weeks to keep little hands and minds active.

All activities are designed for primary school aged children, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Bookings are preferred at each event.
