The two packs, one for preschool and kindergarten and the other for primary school aged children, are available online now until the until Friday, April 24.
Each is 22 pages long and includes a range of games, find-a-words, science experiments, art activities and plenty more.
The content of the booklets is distinctly Australian.
Illustrations have been drawn by children's author and illustrator Stephen Michael King.
The number of services and items that can be borrowed for children through the MidCoast Libraries website are also highlighted.
These include ebooks and eaudiobooks through Borrowbox, books read by well known faces from Storybook Library and educational and entertaining films and television through Kanopy.
The booklets are available to download from https://library.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/Home/Featured-Content/April-Holiday-Booklets/Holiday-Booklets
