GEELONG teens are being urged to step away from televisions and into public libraries as part of an initiative to boost youth membership, according to Geelong library.
Children and Youth Services coordinator Maryanne Hyde said all activities as part of the library’s school holiday program were free, arts-based and creative.
“From Wii gaming to the latest music, e-books, new release DVDs, drama workshops, and cartooning, libraries are a great place for youth to hang out,” she said.
Youth-specific classes include workshops on cartooning, drama, Manga art, blogging, animation, book art, journalism and magazine production.
The holiday program runs until January 27.
