Easter fun will be on offer at the libraries in Macedon Ranges these school holidays, with a program of free events and activities set to be launched.
A mix of pre-booked and drop-in events, Goldfields Libraries in Gisborne, Kyneton, Romsey and Woodend will provide an eclectic mix of children’s activities through their school holiday program, running from Monday, April 7 to Thursday, April 17.
For dog-lovers, a screening of the film Runt will be held at the Gisborne Library on Wednesday, April 9, and at Romsey Library on Thursday, April 10.
Viewers will be transported to the island of Motunui as Moana 2 is screened at Gisborne Library on Monday, April 14, and at Romsey Library on Tuesday, April 15.
Other drop-in activities include the Circuits and Switches STEM challenges, facilitated by the Discovery Science and Technology Centre, where children aged 5-12 can experiment with and build their own working electrical circuit.
Easter-themed activities include Easter rock painting, 3D Easter bunny portrait making, and other craft activities.
Romsey Library library services officer Rae Good said every library will have drop-in classes suitable for all ages – and that the library staff are happy to assist and direct children who would like to borrow books.
“We have books for every age and reading level … There’s definitely something for everyone. Even Audiobooks … people taking a trip might like to borrow an audiobook to listen in the car,” Ms Good said.
She said libraries are a great resource for parents and children during the school holidays, providing free and accessible materials, activities, and entertainment – as well as social engagement.
