Kiama and Gerringong Libraries have kicked off their school holiday programs with activities and events for kids of all ages.

Gerringong Library hosted a Lego “Spot The Difference” event on Tuesday 26 September, giving kids the opportunity to flex their creative muscles with the classic building blocks. 

The concept of the event was for kids to build their own Lego creations, take a picture with a Polaroid camera, then make five changes to the set. They can then compare their pictures to the newly changed Lego build and challenge other players to spot the difference.

The Lego sets will remain on display alongside their photos so other library visitors can participate.

The young builders didn’t hesitate when it was time to start building their displays. One young Lego build brought his own masterpiece to show the rest of the class. This fun and free community event made a big impact on school holiday fun. There are even more events planned throughout the school holidays at Gerringong and Kiama libraries for kids to check out.

Kiama Library opened its doors on 27 September to activities and workshops for kids and parents, including an arts and crafts program to make botanical suncatchers.

Other upcoming events include green screen short films on 3 October and building your own ‘frog hotel’ on 6 October at Gerringong Library, and the Lego Mega Bugs Family Challenge Night on 3 October at Kiama Library.
