Reading of children’s book launches holiday activities

FAMILIES will be able to celebrate the joy of nature and friendship these school holidays, with the Gannawarra Library Service hosting a special reading of The Wind in the Willows.

The Cohuna library will host a special reading of the Kenneth Grahame-written classic by Mr Badger on September 26 from 3pm.

The Wind in the Willows is a literary classic, with the escapades of Mole, Ratty, Badger and Mr Toad part of cultural folklore.
