Bluff’s children were transported to a world under the sea as part of a school holiday programme in the coastal town this week.
Preschool children’s librarian Lynn Lockett said the library had been promoting a school holiday programme in Bluff for about five years.
They found inspiration from viewing marine creatures and took part in some of the themed craft activities.

It was about staff making connections with the children and families.
"So the purpose [of the holiday programme] is to give children a familiar face and make them feel comfortable when they come into the library."
