Local libraries are heading Up, Up and Away with a wide range of flight-themed family activities for the April school holidays.

At Mahurangi East, teams of witches and wizards will be doing battle throughout the fortnight, with challenges involving science, art, design, food and storytelling. There will also be special Anzac-themed activities at the library on Tuesday, April 24 – the day before Anzac Day – including a family movie evening.

Warkworth Library will be taking flight with assorted planes, catapults and helicopters, as well as seeing if its younger library users have what it takes to be in the air force.  Meanwhile, Wellsford will be welcoming back the ever-popular Bubble Man, staging a Take Flight competition and organising a number of art and science activities.

For details on the dates and times for all Up, Up and Away school holiday activities, message or visit each library’s Facebook page, or call Auckland Council on 09 301 0101.
