Paper Seed Making Workshops Our libraries welcomed Spring with a Free Seed Paper workshop for adults at all of our branches. Participants crafted eco-friendly paper embedded with seeds for planting. This workshop not only promoted sustainability but also encouraged people to connect with nature and foster relationships within their local community.
Bowen Library Tour Bowen Childcare & Early Education Centre visited Bowen Library. They toured the library, learnt about the collection, and had fun using the media cleaner to remove scratches on the DVD’s. Some of the children came back to sign up as members.
Gumlu School Visit Members of our library team, Phoebe from Bowen, and Stacey from Proserpine recently visited Gumlu State School. Their time there was filled with engaging activities, including crafting Gruffalo masks, and creating parachute men to explore concepts of gravity and force. They thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the northernmost school in our district.
