School Holiday Program - Zoom sessions

Are your school holiday plans looking a little different to what you had expected? We know the feeling!

We're running a regular online school holiday program, with two sessions running every weekday, 10.30am and 2.30pm on Zoom. These free sessions are aimed at different ages and interests: DIY Phone Speakers or Origami Gift Boxes for ages 12-18, or for younger children, Rainbow Colours or Shapes. 

Many of these activities can be done with common materials you may have around the house (salt, flour, paper, glue...) - but we have also introduced Click & Collect resource packs, available at a number of our libraries. Some activities don't require any materials.

You will need to book in for the online session, then also order a resource pack if you need one.

Need a hand? Call any library to chat to a team member.
