The Ballarat Libraries school holiday program kicked off yesterday, leaving local children spoilt for choice this break.

Activities will take place on almost every weekday of the school holidays with something for all ages and abilities.

The program started yesterday with the ‘Make a flick book’ activity, based on the book ‘Mirror’ by Jeannie Baker.

Activities to come include making a library bag, a teen clothes swap session and visits by the Grampians Zoo.

All activities are free but bookings are essential. Phone 5331 1211 for more information and bookings.
