Frankston City Libraries delivers an array of school holiday activities with a mixture of both in-person and virtual events and caters for a broad age group. Their school holiday program is traditionally booked out weeks in advance.
From special Storytime and movie sessions, to science shows, arts and crafts, and author meet-and-greets, Frankston City Libraries is your one-stop-shop for school holiday fun and frivolity.
Not only does Frankston City Libraries have a great school holiday program, but theyโre also late fine free!
โIf you havenโt visited your local library in a while, now is the time with Frankston City Libraries removing late fines and offering an extensive program of events and activities,โ said Frankston City Libraries Manager, Tammy Beauchamp.
โIf you thought you may have had a library late fine, weโve wiped them all and weโd love to see you in one of our libraries soon.
โWe have a huge range of comics, graphic novels, junior fiction and young adult books in the collection, as well as eBook and eAudiobooks on your phone or device via our library apps, BorrowBox and Libby. Thereโs no need to be paying for your audiobooks and eBooks.
