You still have time to enter a creation in the cultural precinct's Spring into September exhibition.

There's colouring-in for three age groups, including seniors/young at heart, and the library is also running a writing competition - write a poem, a limerick, a short story, an essay.

Entries are due on Friday, September 18, and winners in all categories of the colouring-in and writing competition will be announced at the launch of the exhibition Spring into September exhibition opening on Friday, September 25 at 1pm.

Entry forms for the writing and colouring-in pages are available at the library - it's fun and it's free, so join in.
