Saturday 20 September 2025

Visit your local library for fun and free activities to keep kids entertained for the school holidays. Enjoy craft activities, expert talks and storytimes!

With our special 'Under the Sea' theme, we’re inviting children aged 6 to 12 to dive into creativity, explore the magic of the ocean, and discover the creatures that live beneath the waves.

Book your spot now for a great range of activities, including:

  • Creative crafts: Make your own dioramas, recycled paper animals, and mini aquariums.
  • Fascinating marine talks: Learn about sharks and dolphins with experts from Dolphin Research Australia’s Ocean Education & Conservation Group.
  • Storytime with an adventurer: Meet Bonnie Hancock and discover her illustrated book about her record-breaking paddle around Australia, Diamond of the Sea.

Continue the adventure at home with our collection of children’s books on ocean life, brimming with fascinating facts and captivating stories about sea creatures big and small.

Dive in and make a splash at your library this September!
