Ballarat libraries busy with school holiday fun
Ballarat’s three libraries should be added to your list of places to visit throughout the January school holidays with each library offering some fun and quirky programs that suit children of most ages.
The 2012 School Holiday Program activities are free to participate in and are a great way to break the boredom that sometimes sets in over the summer break.
A highlight event offered at the Ballarat Library and the Delacombe Community House is a special visit from animals and their handlers from the Halls Gap Zoo on Monday 23 January. Children of all ages are welcome to attend this event to meet some new furry friends.
