School Holiday Program.
Monday 30 June - Friday 11 July
‘Whoever you are’ you are invited to come to Boroondara’s libraries during the June/July school holidays. This is our theme for the coming school holidays, so come prepared to be yourself, or whoever you may like to be – a sports hero, a princess, a pirate or an artist – whatever is your fancy!
Our special performers will be Dream Puppets presenting ‘Dreamer’ and Knockabout Theatre presenting ‘Olympic Gold’ – sure to be lots of fun. In addition to this there will be the usual exciting line up of in-house activities organised and presented by the libraries’ energetic Youth Services team.
Make sure you pick up a program and an activity description from Friday 6 June and grab your tickets from any of our libraries from Friday 20 June – but hurry as they disappear fast!
All sessions are free but bookings are required (except for Family Storytimes).
