School Holidays at the Libraries

What's better than somewhere fun, free, friendly and safe to go during the school holidays? How about somewhere with activities and storytimes to keep everyone occupied, just in case the summer that arrived over Easter decides not to stick around.

Join our friendly dragon mascot and the librarians across Auckland from 6th to 22nd April for a fun-filled mythical creature adventure at Auckland Libraries these school holidays. We have lots of exciting stories and activities for the kids to enjoy across the Auckland region.

Activities on offer include:
* Storytimes with taniwhas, dragons, fairies and more.
* Crafty kids - let your imagination run wild and make your own mythical creature.
* Quizzes - challenge your friends and see who can answer the most questions.
* Scavenger hunts - get your friends together and find all the hidden creatures lurking in the library.

For more information on what's happening at a Library near you (or near where you are visiting on holiday) check out our School holidays event page on the website. I like the look of Epsom's 'Great Dewey Challenge' where you have to master mythical creatures and wind your way to winning their beastly board game (throughout the holidays). Meanwhile out west Massey has a packed schedule including return visits from Molly the Pirate and Stu Duval (if you missed them during Dare to Explore, don't do it a second time) plus on Thursday 19th April at 10.30 am, the YMCA and Auckland Libraries present The Polka Dots LIVE in the YMCA stadium. I might also have to visit Mangere East to see the results of their Puppet Theatre week running from 17th to 20th April. Phew - so much to do during the holidays, and all of it FREE.
