Add some colour – Posters for the kids

Our workroom is very busy at the moment as we prepare a lovely big pile of new children’s posters for the library network, a great idea for a quick and easy way to decorate your child’s room

Five of our libraries have poster collections and they are: Upper Riccarton, New Brighton, Shirley, Fendalton and South.
