Families in North Lakes and the surrounding suburbs are spoilt for choice this summer holidays. From creative workshops and tech adventures at Moreton Bay libraries to festive celebrations and active play, there’s something for everyone.
City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said he encouraged families to explore the holiday programs.
“There is no shortage of exciting activities for youngsters to enjoy at City of Moreton Bay libraries during the school holidays,” he said. “With Christmas Eve Storytime, LEGO building, 3D printing, comedy puppet shows, terrarium classes and much, much more, there truly is something for everyone.
“I would encourage all local families to make the most of what our City’s wonderful libraries have to offer over the summer break.”
