Fall headfirst down the rabbit hole these school holidays as City of Moreton Bay libraries unlock a magical Wonderland-themed program filled with creativity and fun.
To celebrate the 160th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Redcliffe Library and other Council libraries will host a series of activities aimed at curious and curiouser young minds.
Mayor Peter Flannery said he was enthusiastic about the events and opportunities taking place at City of Moreton Bay libraries, particularly during the school holidays.
“Alice in Wonderland is a childhood classic many people grew up reading and loving,” he said. “We’re excited to draw on the imagination and creativity of Lewis Carroll’s iconic novel to inspire young minds to learn and immerse themselves in the library.
“The themed events celebrating 160 years of Alice in Wonderland range from painting your own cupcake plate fit for a Mad Hatter tea party…and taking part in an Alice in Wonderland themed Lego adventure.”
