Congratulations to Ava, winner of full-house Book Bingo at Stawell Library! Ava's mother said she had been discussing the event at home and her determination led to her marking off all books on the card.

Stawell and St Arnaud branches ran Book Bingo throughout August as part of Children's Book Week celebrations. Stawell Library received about 20 entries, including five two-line winners! Participants in St Arnaud received a lucky dip.

The event resulted in great engagement with the Children's Book Week short-listed books, with the picture books being read in-house numerous times as well as a good number from the junior and young adult fiction being borrowed.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Book Bingo and our other Book Week activities 📚🌟

R U Ok Day? Is Australia's National Day of Action, that is designed to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect and develop the confidence and capability to lend support to those around them.

Every day, someone around you — a colleague, a mate, a manager, the person who always makes the coffee run — might be carrying something you can't see.

Doesn't matter where you're from, who your mob is, or how you identify: tough times don't discriminate. Neither should we.

Your thoughts are a cue, your care is a catalyst, and your question could change a life.
If you’re thinking it, Ask R U OK? Any Day. For tips on how to have a supportive conversation, visit ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
