These school holidays we have a range of ANZAC-themed activities to keep the kids entertained.
Each day we have a morning activity starting at 10.30am and an afternoon activity starting at 1.00pm, as well as week-long activities like colouring-in and a scavenger hunt.
These school holidays why not pass the time by booking a session with our PlayStation VR setup!
Play our VR by yourself or bring up to 6 friends and play any of the VR games we have on offer. Just book a time and come into the library to play. A librarian will be on hand to help.
The Poppy Flight is a major fundraiser bringing together remembrance and hope for the future. It will encourage our children to remember those who fought for our freedom, many of whom who paid the ultimate price, and encourage them to think about returned servicemen who need our help and support now.
The collective fundraising will help the RSA and the Starship Foundation continue to provide the care needed in many areas. The Poppy Flight will also help keep our aviation history alive through the NZ Warbirds Association, without whom the flight would not be possible.
Learn more about The Poppy Flight on their official website.
