For the first time, there is also crafting at every single Mobile Library stop - what a great time to visit the Mobile!
Parents! We get it. Sometimes you just need to get out of the house! If you want something to during the school holidays that is FREE, indoors, climate controlled, entertaining and sneakily educational, your local library is here for you.
Every school holiday, we offer a range of activities for all ages and tastes, across our ten branches and beyond. Try something new, be active, connect with culture, get hands-on and make new friends!
We have all kinds of interesting activities happening, space for you to relax for a while (maybe grab a beverage?), and plenty of fun things you can take home too!
