☕💛 A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Biggest Morning Tea at the Swan Hill Library today! Thanks to your incredible support, we raised an amazing $1055.75 for the Cancer Council Australia 👏

Our library staff have been busy all week baking 🍰🧁 and preparing, so it was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout — around 90 community members joined us to enjoy a cuppa ☕, delicious sandwiches 🥪 and slices, while catching up with old friends and making new ones 😊 Special thanks, too, to the Knitter Knatter ladies who dropped in a plate 🙏

Congratulations to all of our lucky door prize winners 🎁 who took home books, journals, magazines, handcrafted goodies from the Knitter Knatter stall, jigsaw puzzles 🧩, mugs filled with chocolates 🍫, and two beautiful bunches of flowers 💐 generously donated by Lorraine Matthews.

There’s still time to support the cause! 💛
The Knitter Knatter craft sale continues until Monday 8 June 🧶

If you haven’t visited yet, come and browse their beautiful winter woollies — including scarves, rugs, and knitted toys 🧸 — all available at very reasonable prices (cash only).

Every dollar raised from both the Knitter Knatter craft sale and our Biggest Morning Tea goes directly to Cancer Council Australia 🎗️

Thank you again to our amazing community for your generosity and support ❤️

🥳 We had so much fun celebrating National Simultaneous Storytime today!

The children loved joining in for the special story reading and enjoyed making their own kangaroo ears. We also had a fantastic time practising our ball kicking skills, along with our regular action rhymes, parachute songs and tunnel.

It was a wonderful morning and we can’t wait to do it again next year!
