All libraries

Bring the kids along to the free activities at all of our libraries during the July school holidays.

For our school holiday activities, we will be running drop-in sessions with a librarian there to help you get started, then letting you take as long as you need to create and learn.  Our activities are inspired by the 7 whetū of Matariki and are appropriate for those aged 5-15. Younger siblings are welcome with supervision.

Our activities include:
