Come on Safari these holidays with Waipā District Libraries school holiday programme.
The theme of this season’s programme coincides with the launch (on 22 June) of the new picture book Harold’s Spots by by Sarah Johnson and Deborah Hinde. An in-house reading by Donna Davies is being held in the library as part of the programme.
Harold the Giraffe is Life Education Trust NZ’s lovable and well-known mascot. And he will be the special guest for the in-house readings in each library.
We would love you to join us to meet Harold and invite you to dress up in safari theme!
