Christmas and New Year festivities are but a memory and the school holidays seem to be stretching out before us, like a never-ending story. So, what to do to keep the young ones entertained and having fun.

Sunshine Coast Libraries have an exciting range of activities and workshops to engage young hands and minds, allowing creative flair to sparkle. Children will have the opportunity to delve into the world of virtual reality; or try their hand at becoming a movie director at one of the Stop-Go animation sessions; or perhaps a Frankentoy workshop would be more up their alley, giving them the opportunity to create their very own hair-raising creatures at a Frankentoy workshop.



Whatever your children's' preferences, Sunshine Coast Libraries have heaps of holiday activities to choose from. All activities and workshops are FREE and in some instances, registration is required to ensure a spot is booked. Here's a guide in date order as to what is happening, when and where, plus links to enable registration. Please see a detailed guide for FREE activities for the week of Monday 7 January to Friday 11 January here.
