WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Welcome to another exciting month at your CRC. Not only will we celebrate turning 31, but there is a calendar full of activities. See the opposite page, articles and advertisements throughout the Gazette for what is coming up - including the Photography Comp!

April saw school holiday ‘Escape Room’ activities; art classes; exercise sessions; IT support; a visit from local MLA Bevan Eatts; the return of Lego club; visiting agencies such as Carers WA, NDIA and DPIRD who all offered valuable information to the community. As part of the Southern Forests and Valleys Heritage Festival, another local history memory and story sharing event was held; and staff engaged in a training session on how to assist community members with digital connectivity issues. If you are having trouble with your internet connection, please contact us with your query.

ANNUAL REPORT

LIBRARY UPDATE

Out of Hours Returns Box
If you are wishing to return your library items outside of the CRC’s opening times, you are now able to do so using our returns box, located on the verandah, to the right of the front door.

Golden Feather Hunt
The Golden Feather Hunt 2026 will be finishing up on the 8th of May. There are still plenty of feathers to find and colour, however the Emerald feather has been found by Lacie, who was presented with a book prize!

National Simultaneous Storytime
The Australian Library and Information Association’s National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is coming soon!

Luna Roo: the Kangaroo Baller, written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton is the children's book selected for this year. The story follows rookie captain Luna Roo as she finds her inner strength to lead FC Outback against Bush United in a thrilling match.

On Wednesday, May 27 at 10am, millions of people across Australia will come together and share the same story, at the same time, to celebrate reading, literacy and community. Our NSS celebration will be part of our Better Beginnings session for that week, held on Thursday 28th of May, 10am - 11am. We look forward to seeing you!
