During October, we'd like to invite our community to come on down to the library and try something new.  Libraries are places that help facilitate lifelong learning, and you're never too old to learn!

Harakeke weaving
Learn some basic harakeke (flax) weaving with Angel from Artearoa and Lisa from Natures Fold.  Search our catalogue for 'raranga' to find lots of excellent resources to learn at home.

Paper crafts

Learn how to make a Brag book in our paper crafting sessions.  Brag books are pocket-sized scrapbooks which bring together small photos, mementos and notes.  Perfect for gifts coming up to Christmas. This activity is not suitable for children. For more resources and ideas on scrapbooking check out our catalogue. 

Flower arranging

Join Beau for a brief introduction to arranging flowers using items you have on hand at home.
