If you are in Canberra tomorrow, Sunday 11 October, come along to the National Library's 'Imaginarium' Family day, from 1pm to 4pm!
There will be SO much going on! Including the launch of Australian Kids Through the Years (at 2.10pm).
Imagine the possibilities of libraries through stories, games and play. Explore 3D printing, 3D pens and fantastic Makey Makey interactive demonstrations. Watch as vocabulary skills are put to the test in the grand final of the ACT Scrabble competition. Plunge into the realm of riddles with David Astle, or sketch portraits using your own device. Meet children’s authors Pauline Deeves, Stephanie Owen Reeder and Tania McCartney. Release the perfect paper plane with the Paper Pilots, and plenty more.
In association with Libraries ACT and Scrabble ACT.
