This week, and all into the holidays, The Burdekin Libraries at both Home Hill and Ayr, are running school holiday programs with some fun crafts. The children's librarian at the Burdekin Library, Carli Kovacich, discusses their school holiday programming, focusing on Christmas tree decoration crafts aimed at fostering family connections.
“Tuesday’s programming is called Christmas tree decorations where we provide craft materials and do clean-up. But what our programming is really about is connection with families. It's creating opportunities for families to connect with each other,” Carli enthuses.
The program provides all the craft materials and handles all the cleanup, aiming to create opportunities for families to engage with each other.
“What I'm trying to do there is create connection between kids who love to read. If you know of other kids out there in the world who get excited about books and about learning, then sign them up,” she says excitedly.
These programs, available for children five and above, can be booked via Eventbrite or The Burdekin Library's Facebook page. You can also call their phone number on: 4783-9970 for further information.
Upcoming events include the January school holiday programs, with details to be released on the 19th, while the Summer Reading Club ends on Thursday. Children can earn tickets for reading books, doing activities, or participating in summer holiday events. These tickets can then be exchanged for prizes, with the club also featuring a VR corner, gaming, and a dance area to foster a sense of community among its many avid, younger readers.
