We’re delighted to partner with Golden Plains Shire on this wonderful series of workshops. We’re proud to present programs like this, closely aligned with our Connecting and Thriving Library Plan: working on creative partnerships and new cultural programs and events for the local community.
This is a great chance to both highlight and support some of the wonderful artists in our local communities, and for people of all ages to connect, and perhaps learn a new skill – and like most events and workshops at our libraries, the workshops are totally free!
