Lockyer Valley Regional Council Libraries and Galleries Portfolio Councillor, Julie Reck said the team would again present an actioned-packed list of boredom-busting fun offerings.

“Mid-year school holidays are on the horizon, and the team at Lockyer Valley Libraries will again plate up a host of activities to keep students happy.

“Holiday favourites are back, plus there will be plenty of free activities to keep the fun flowing in the holiday break.
