We’ve a diverse wide range of school holiday programs – leap into Library Lovers Day by going on blind dates with books; held author talks (on topics such as transforming your life, right through to notable figures in 16th century England) and celebrate the Chinese New Year.

We’re not resting on our laurels, though.

Our regular programs have already started for the year.

This means preschool storytime sessions (for 2-5 year olds) and our programs for early learners (0-2 year olds) are being run from branches across the region.

See our website for session times www.midcoastlibraries.com.au

These programs are a wonderful opportunity for parents and carers to get to know other families and for the children to meet new friends, all in an interactive learning environment.

You don’t need to book in, just turn up.

Homework Help is also back.

This program is aimed at helping school children with their homework, thanks to a wonderful group of experienced volunteers.

It’s totally free and is sure to make life easier for children and their parents.

Again, no bookings are required.
