Sydney - Bankstown City Library - Just two examples of the summer holiday activities at Padstow and Greenacre branches of Bankstown City Library. The format is the children come and have 3 stories read to them, watch an entertaining children's movie and make a craft they can take home with them that celebrates summer in Australia. The activities included making a scarecrow garden stake, a fishing line with a sea creature attached with a paperclip, keyrings with the child's photo laminated and attached with a grommet machine, and a shark kite among others. I actually got to know mothers and children and felt good at the Summer Reading Awards night when I recognized a family from one of the branch SHA events.
