Another featured event is the Toonworld model-making workshop, where children can design and build their own 3D character creations through a guided, hands-on activity that introduces professional model-making techniques.
The program features a mix of creative, hands-on and family-friendly activities, including magnetic frames, Lego and games sessions, movies, and rhyme times for younger children.
Bookings are essential due to limited spots and can be made online or by phone, with children required to be accompanied by an adult or carer during the activities. Jack Thompson is pictured taking part in activities at the Echuca library during the most recent school holidays.
