Primary school holidays are fast approaching and our teenagers are already lounging in bed as we leave for work in the morning. Unfortunately we can’t leave our under 14s home alone so what are we to do with them when school gets out? Let the library come to the rescue.

Christchurch City Libraries website has a fabulous page fun things for kids to do which has heaps of help to entertain our kids. There is the Summertimes Reading Club with lots of prizes. A special Christmas page links to Christmas books, DVDs and music, and Christmas websites with information and fun things to do online or print out and do at home.

Your local library will have their own personal Christmas display and decoration ideas too. So pop down and see us.

We also have reading lists and If you like that author – you may like this one lists to help you and your kids choose some great titles to read over the holiday period.

So, best of luck keeping your wee bairns entertained these holidays.
