Crafty school holiday library events

Libraries across the north have hosted fun events and activities to keep kids entertained during the school holidays.

At Lalor Library, bestselling illustrator Ben Wood guided the young creatives through creating their very own cartoon pigeons.

Sunbury Library hosted the National Gallery of Victoria, where children participated in activities created in collaboration with world-renowned artists.

At Tullamarine Library, kids showed off their crafty side during a special under-the-sea-themed arts and craft session.

Star Weekly photographer Damjan stopped by the libraries to capture the fun.
