Easter fun at Lockyer Valley Libraries!

If you’re looking for things for kids and teens to do in the region over the school holidays, check out what’s on at Lockyer Valley Libraries!

Lockyer Valley Regional Council Libraries and Galleries Portfolio Councillor, Julie Reck said the Libraries’ team will again present a jam-packed schedule to entertain children and young people throughout the break.

“Keep your kids entertained with a wide range of fun and free activities happening at our Lockyer Valley Libraries these Easter school holidays.

“School holidays are the perfect time for youngsters to have a break from their school routine, but keeping the kids busy doesn’t have to break the bank.

“Make sure you book in for sessions now so your children can enjoy the holiday fun at our Libraries,” Cr Reck said.

From Monday 7 April to Thursday 17 April, both Libraries will offer a Scavenger Hunt to test your sleuthing skills – testing your ability to crack the code? The code changes three times each week so make sure you revisit!
