Teens encouraged to check out activities at Goldfields libraries

Budding musicians have a chance to take to the stage as part of teen-friendly activities on at Goldfields libraries this semester.

Teens are encouraged to check out the free activities at Kyneton and Woodend libraries, which include music workshops, as well as a literary competition and a number of online activities.

The library’s regional community partnerships and engagement manager Mark Hands said there’s “some pretty interesting stuff going on for teens” at the library.

“Anything from robotics through to fiction writing, as well as the opportunity to compose and record your own music, and have it published by us,” Mr Hands said.

“This exciting opportunity for young adults is called Goldfields Connect – Music in Schools.

“It’s providing students with the opportunity to have their music included on our annual digital album.

“We even welcome budding musicians to hold live performances at our libraries.”

He urged music students to get their schools registered for this year’s album.

Track submissions close on Monday, October 31.

In November, a panel will shortlist a range of tracks to be included in the 2016 Goldfields Connect album, due out online by December.
