As part of the 2015 Anzac Commemoration, the 5000 Poppies
project will be “planting” a field of more than 5000 poppies in Federation
Square Melbourne as a visual tribute to Australian servicemen and women
for more than a century of service in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping
operations. Over 9000 poppies have been collected to
date.
Members of Campaspe Regional Library are asked to
contribute to the project by dropping in their home made poppies to any branch library. Poppies can be knitted, crocheted, felted or sewn from any
materials. Crafters are encouraged to dedicate their poppy to a member of their
family who served in World War One.
Craft patterns and dedication forms can be found on the
5000 Poppies
website. Poppies will be collected and displayed together with their
dedications in libraries for Remembrance Day November 11 2014.
