Come and have fun with the Re-Creators this school holidays!
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays for two weeks we have kids’ events for you to get creative and learn about sustainable upcycling.
Events are held at four of our different libraries: Get your hands into paper mache at St Andrews, make 3D native birds at Chartwell, learn how to sew a bee at Dinsdale Library and even make your own marble run at Glenview. Check out the full list below to see all that you can do!
