Celebrate winter at the library!

It’s Gumboot day at the libraries today … kids arriving in their gumboots earn an entry into a prize draw. Friday is Slipper day so come into Timaru, Temuka or Geraldine Libraries wearing your favourite slippers for a chance to win a prize. It’s not too late to enter the kids’ holiday competitions and scavenger hunt, but be quick… entries need to be in by midday on Thursday 28th July. And if you are into crafty fun, come along to any of our libraries tomorrow from 10.30-11.30am. See you soon!
