The school holidays are almost here and Bellingen Shire Branch Libraries have planned a holiday of craft activities for local children.  Using a range of collected items and craft supplies children will have endless fun designing and decorating their creations.

“Undertaking arts and craft is great for child development and helps them to practice important skills such as coordination, fine motor skills and understanding shapes and colours.  It also boosts visual learning and builds patience,” said Council’s Manager of Community Wellbeing, Alison Pattinson.
