There’s nothing better than sharing a story with a friend 📚

But what if that was a feline friend?

Hume Libraries, in partnership with Lort Smith Animal Hospital in Campbellfield, are offering Tales to Tails – a free program that allows children a safe and judgement free space to practice their reading out loud 📚

For the children, it provides positive reading experiences to help increase their confidence, motivation and fluency 🌟

For the shelter cats waiting to be adopted, it helps them come out of their shell and become more comfortable around children 🐈

📅 Thursdays at 4pm during term 3
📍 Lort Smith Animal Hospital Campbellfield

Bookings essential. Visit humelibraries.vic.gov.au/tales-to-tails to find out more

🎾 Greenvale Tennis Club is getting a major upgrade!

👷‍♂️ Excavation works are now underway – and we’ve already uncovered some massive granite rocks, with some measuring up to 2.5 metres high and weighing over 25,000kg! A 36-tonne excavator and a low loader truck were brought in to safely remove them.

💪 Despite the challenge, we’re on track and preparing to build the two brand-new courts.

As part of the project, we’ll be:
🎾 Constructing two new courts (courts 10 and 11)
🔄 Rebuilding three existing courts (courts 5, 6 and 7)
💡 Upgrading lighting on the courts
🚗 Installing new carpark lighting for improved safety and visibility
⚡ Upgrading the electrical mains to support new infrastructure
🏠 Redeveloping the tennis club pavilion with modern amenities for players, spectators and the wider community

🤝 This project is being delivered in stages by Council, in partnership with the Federal Government and additional developer contributions.
