The libraries of Hauraki and Thames-Coromandel are putting on some enjoyable free children’s activities for the school holidays. Hauraki District Libraries have a wizard-themed series of activities, with a Harry Potter-themed escape room at Paeroa Library; 3D printing, wand crafting and painting in Waihī; and wizard activity booklets in Ngatea.
The Peninsula libraries, meanwhile, have an animal theme, along with a Minions escape room at Thames Library. A variety of pets from Scalez & Tails Reptile Rescue Coromandel will be visiting Thames, Mercury Bay and Tairua Libraries over the two week period, and all three libraries have other craft sessions scheduled as well.
