As the winter chill sets in, Young, Harden and Boorowa Libraries are gearing up to keep young minds engaged and entertained with their 2025 Winter School Holiday Program.
Running during the entire two week holiday from Monday, 7 July to Friday, 18 July, the program offers a diverse range of activities designed to spark creativity, encourage learning, and provide fun for children across the region.
This year’s program includes a variety of events suitable for different age groups, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate. From interactive storytelling sessions and arts and crafts workshops to STEM-based activities and games, there’s something for everyone.

The libraries are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment where children can explore new interests, develop skills, and make lasting memories. To ensure a smooth experience, some events require prior registration due to limited spaces.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to visit the website or contact their local branch for detailed information on event schedules and registration procedures. This proactive approach helps manage attendance and ensures that all participants have a positive and enriching experience. By offering a variety of activities, the library aims to support the development of children’s skills, foster a love for learning, and provide opportunities for social interaction during the school holidays.
