The Strathmore Municipal Library offered a variety of programs for kids and families, while Golden Hills students were off for their reading week.
“We were running programs all week. (Wednesday’s) program was a makerspace, which … we ended up with about 55 kits that we made full of all sorts of different craft items and an assortment of things,” said Laura Henderson, library public services coordinator. “We put them out and kids could come in, grab a package and go to a table and there would be glue and scissors and colouring materials and they could just make something.”
Particularly for Wednesday’s program, the library team was not expecting the attendance levels observed, due to the adverse weather conditions. According to Henderson, the team had created roughly 35 kits for kids to use, and were making more on the fly as more people dropped in.
