These school holidays, the libraries are taking you on a journey into outer space!
Each of the libraries has chosen their own set of activities, which means you can pick and choose the activities that appeal to you, or do all of them! There is no charge for the school holiday programmes, simply join us on the day (or sign up online if the activity requires registration) and explore space through a new lens. Please note that, with the exception of the Clay Space Light activity at Te Aroha Library, all activities are designed for children aged 5+. These activities may too complex or challenging for children under 5.
