Winter school holidays at the library are free and you are invited to join in the fun.
for the July school holidays across the shire, to help beat the boredom and stimulate young minds.
“We work to ensure our services and facilities are equitable, accessible and inclusive. Our library team has designed a program that does just that in providing access to a range of activities across the shire and without the need for parents and grandparents to put their hand into their pocket,” Cr Crook said.
“We understand that school holidays can be a challenge for families. That’s why we’ve designed these programs to be fun, educational, and completely free, making them accessible for everyone.”
From Monday, July 1, to Friday, July 12, locals and visitors alike are invited to join us for a series of engaging activities.
The line-up includes exciting activities like craft projects, movie afternoons with free popcorn, a magic show, board and video games, and much more.
“These programs are perfect for creating lasting memories with your children and grandchildren, while there’s also the wide variety of books and other resources available to borrow and use,” Cr Crook said.
“While the young ones enjoy themselves, parents and grandparents can relax at the library with a good book, catch up on the latest news, or simply enjoy the welcoming atmosphere.”
