Children at the Murchison Library crafted clouds, stars, and kites during the school holidays, with imaginations soaring through paper, paint, and glitter.
The sky-themed wonders were created during the ‘Get Crafty’ sessions throughout the week of 8 July.
“We hosted a few free sessions, allowing kids to explore sky-themed art projects, with many creating and decorating unique kites, which was neat,” librarian Erica King-Tenison says.
The completed kites were enthusiastically raced around the library by the 12 children who attended, aged four to 11, fostering creativity and interaction.Erica says it was great to connect with the children and to get them thinking.
Erica highlighted the initiative’s role in providing equal library opportunities and fostering a positive community atmosphere, where both children and families enjoy engaging in creative activities together.
“A group of us have been working hard to make sure Murchison children get the same library opportunities as other areas do,” she says.
“We enjoy having the children and their families come to the library and the children really enjoy the crafts. I find helping at the sessions, fun.”
