Kingston Libraries School Holiday Program

Kingston Libraries has just released their June-July school holiday program for kids, youth and families. While libraries are now beginning to open up to the public again, they are still unable to run events for groups in the library spaces. But that hasn’t stopped them from creating a fun holiday program! They are running our program remotely. A range of free activities are on offer via mailout or online including craft and STEAM kits to do at home, online games (Minecraft, Dungeons & Dragons), author talks (George Ivanoff and Jane Godwin), theatrical performances, cooking classes and science experiments. Their annual short story competition for children and youth launches too (27 June), and their daily story time live stream continues as usual.

The program of events is available to download here and bookings can be made online or by calling us - https://www.kingston.vic.gov.au/library/Kids-Place/Kids-Activities-2#SchoolHolidayProgram

All activities and events are free, but they do require bookings (except for story time live stream) so that the links for online content can be shared and to enable the mailing out of kits.
