School children had a variety of activities on offer to keep them busy over the school holidays, and the free activities at the region’s public libraries were a popular choice on rainy days.
At the Paeroa and Waihī libraries, sessions were held on different days for activities such as zine making, Lego, Playstation and board game sessions.
In Tairua, Thames and Whitianga, the library activities included Easter and Anzac-themed crafts like making Easter baskets and headbands, felt poppies and peg soldiers.
The School of Mines also hosted school holiday activities for a small koha, with craft projects inspired by nature.
