Celebrating Mt Evelyn Library's 25th birthday - check out the photos!

Last Friday morning Mt Evelyn Library hosted a birthday celebration for the library.

Acting Team Leaders Andrea Ramsey and Suzanne Allan were joined by councillors Tim Heenan and Len Cox, local historian Paula Herlihy, students and teachers from Mt Evelyn Primary School, library members and Corporate Manager - Customer Services, Lorraine Seeger and Web Administrator - webgurl.

Local Historian Paula Herlihy educates everyone about the history of the Station House in Mt Evelyn, the railway and even stamps.

Students from Mt Evelyn Primary School entertained councillors, staff, parents and library members with songs including our favourite, a song about reading.
