When was the last time you did something for the first time? 💡

Have you ever tried bedazzling? How about mindfulness colouring in? As an adult, challenged yourself with LEGO? Or, have fun with old school board faves (and pizza!)!

You can try all of these things and much more in our libraries this July! We're proud to be participating in this year, with all events running at our Saddleworth library - and for adults.

Our school holiday programme will also be available (more on this soon!!).

Held in SA libraries each July, Firstival is a month-long program of events designed to invite you to try something new. ✨
