The program is aimed at children 8 to 12 years and targets different brain activities, such as creativity, number skills, word association, pattern recognition, vocabulary, and memory. It's a fun, free programme, but bookings are essential as we can only accept 10 children. Please ring the library on 67402190 to secure a place for your child!
There's a similar program for adults: Brain Training @ the Library programme, which takes place twice on Monday morning at 10.30am to 11.30am and from 3.30pm to 4.30pm. Participants enjoy socialising and doing activities such as spot the difference, mazes, word games, trivia questions and a memory game. It's all great fun and free, so please call 6740 2190 or come into the library to book a place.
