From painting canvas bags and working with clay to creating glow jar lanterns, making beaded windchimes, decorating cookies, and building DIY puzzles, there’s something for every young maker to enjoy.

“These fun and interactive sessions give kids a chance to explore new skills, express their creativity, and stay engaged during the school break - all in a safe, welcoming space for the whole family” says Marieke Junkin, Manager of Programming and Public Services  “With programs running at all 14 library branches, it’s easy to join in close to home without the need for extra travel.”
