Start planning now because the next school holidays are not very far away at all!
During the October Holidays Wellington Libraries will be running lots of free, fun activities around science, technology and engineering.
Have a go at some new apps and tech, build something amazing, create a video clip… and more! It’s all free, and perfect for 6-12 year olds.
Here’s the when and where:
Island Bay Community Centre: Wednesday 30 September, 1pm
Johnsonville Library: Wednesday 30 September, 2pm
Ruth Gotlieb Library (Kilbirnie): Thursday 1 October, 2pm
Newlands Community Centre: Tuesday 6 October, 2pm
Karori Library: Tuesday 6 October, 10am
Central Library: Wednesday 7 October, 11am
Mervyn Kemp Library (Tawa): Thursday 8 October, 11am
Newtown Library: Thursday 8 October, 2pm
So we thought this Click, make, build and create looked like fun. Went to Newlands Community Centre at 2 pm today just like it says in the email and it wasn’t on. I can’t begin to tell you the disappointment of the 8 year old. This is very very disappointing and I would like to know what you are doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again. About 5 groups of children turned up for this event.
Hi Coralie,
Yes, this is our mistake. Newlands was running a holiday activity today, but we neglected to update the information to say that bookings are required for those activities run in Community Centres (bookings aren’t required for the library-run activities and this booking information was incorrectly included with the Newlands event). Big apologies for this; we’re sorry you and the children were disappointed. There are still a few holiday activities running in the Libraries this week if you would like to attend those. The Star Wars-themed one at the Central Library looks like a goodie! Have a look at the Wellington City Libraries’ facebook page for details on these holiday activities.
Thanks for the feedback – we’ll do better next time.
