School Holiday Programs at your Local Library 2021

 

Libraries across South Australia run many programs suitable for children and young people. These upcoming summer school holidays are no exception, with plenty of councils offering a variety of programs to entertain and educate children.

We have collated some of the libraries who are running school holiday programs. We would encourage checking with your local council area first if an event is going ahead prior to attending.
