“During January, they will have Science Fun on Wednesdays along with the suite of innovative technology for all, including augmented reality..

“Outside of the library, other ‘Full Throttle’ activities include tie dying, Come & Try Golf, kite making, leather & beeswax workshops and more.

“The final event will be at the Millicent Swimming Lake, featuring the inflatable obstacle course, live music and games on Wednesday, 25, January 2023.
