Activities are based at the Kwinana Library (Hub Shopping Centre) unless otherwise stated and sessions will be attended by primary school students throughout Kwinana.
Over the past few weeks the Kwinana Library and Gilmore College art students have also undertaken a joint art project, resulting in a range of wonderful artwork which will be on display throughout Children’s Book Week.
The art is based on scenes from the award winning book Tensy Farlow and the home for mislaid children by Jen Storer.
Ms Storer was very supportive of the project saying she was “thrilled to hear the kids have chosen Tensy for their project and I look forward to seeing the results!”
