The local library has a range of activities on offer, including Recycled Robot which attracted many youngsters to the Summer Reading Club (SRC) initiative on Friday.

And, the children’s imaginations ran wild, with a number of fancy designs.

“They’re making the robots from recycled items,” branch library officer Julie Edwards said.

“The kids love it – and they’re all very busy.

“It also allows them to show off their creativity.

“This project has certainly been a winner.

“It all leads into the big SRC Game On party at the end of the month.”

The Denman Library is involved in the inaugural 3D virtual reality inter-town challenge, too.

That will take place on Wednesday, January 17, between 2pm and 5pm, when Muswellbrook Shire mayor Martin Rush battles all comers.

Gamers can now book a 20-minute trial run.

To join in the challenge, you must be 13 years or older and be a library member. 

If you’re not, enlist now – it’s easy and it’s free.

Trial sessions will be available from 2pm until 5pm, Monday to Friday, during the school holidays and bookings are essential.
