Librarian Emma Darragh says there will also be an astounding diversity of workshops, discussions and activities relating to creativity, facilitated entirely by passionate Coromandel Peninsula people.

'The workshops have been offered to all at no or low-cost,” says Emma. 'Coromandel creativity specialists Figjam are offering a special programme of workshops to support the library's Season.

'Everyone is capable of being creative and the Season of Creativity offers plenty of guidance and support from the local creative community.”

The upcoming workshops include art, writing, photography, cooking, education, career-planning and much more.

The library also promises a welcoming and accessible venue through its community-led programme and extensive selection of quality books and resources.

'The project is more about fun than perfection,” adds Emma, 'and all workshops and activities reflect a celebration of the process of creativity.”

Registration will be required to attend some sessions as places may be limited. People across the Coromandel Peninsula are invited to come to Tairua to take part in the Season of Creativity.

'There is something on offer for everyone, regardless of age or inspiration,” says Emma.
