Hamilton City Libraries is getting back to nature this school holidays by showing our Earth some aroha!
From 11 to 23 April, we will be hosting events to celebrate the natural world, at each of our libraries.
Join us to learn all about the Earth’s environment, flora and fauna. Children will enjoy conservation craft, exploring our native critters through art, creating terrariums, raranga harakeke (weaving flax) and much more!
On Saturday 22 April we will be celebrating EARTH DAY by hosting a special event at Chartwell Library. As well as lots of family fun we will be joining the great global clean up, in collaboration with Keep Hamilton Beautiful.
