Geelong Regional Libraries are helping bust boredom during the July school holidays with many activities available.

The school-holiday program started this week and followed the ‘Old and New’ theme, with activities such as designing old-time postcards, playing old and new games and making puppets.

Geelong Regional Libraries chief executive Vanessa Schernickau said the activities featured in the school holiday program were designed to tap into children’s creativity and imagination.

“Our libraries are safe and inclusive spaces and…we put our hearts and minds into each school holiday program,” she said.

“They’re a great chance to make new friends, develop literacy in surprising ways, and perhaps even learn how to upcycle clothes and make your own paper and recipe books.”
