Warm up at Lockyer Valley Libraries these school holidays

Lockyer Valley Libraries’ winter line-up of school holiday fun will spark creativity and keep kids entertained.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council Libraries and Galleries Portfolio Councillor, Julie Reck said anyone searching for a cosy escape should look no further than Lockyer Valley Libraries!

“We’re always committed to offering a range of free and low-cost activities across the region.

“We’re encouraging families to start your planning now and remember, places are limited for some events, so book early to avoid disappointment.

“Our region is a great place for families, and our school holiday programs are all about giving kids the chance to try something new, stay busy and enjoy their time off,” Cr Reck said.

Activities on offer include:
