The YTAA are an annual writing competition where entrants write and produce their own book. The Awards aim to inspire children and young people in the NT to explore their ideas and turn them into stories.
Did you know the Alice Springs Public Library has a wide selection of books in languages other than English?
School holidays are almost upon us, and that means it’s almost time to look for ways to fill those class-free days.
That’s right, your Library stocks books in languages from across the globe so you’re sure to find something to tempt the linguist in you!
The Alice Springs Public Library is currently planning for the school holiday period, beginning late in June and will be offering special activities for Alice Springs youth.
The competition is open to all Territorians 18 years and under and entries close on 27 August. Categories include: • • • • • •
8 years and under 9-12 years 13-15 years 16-18 years Regional areas School Entries
Whether you are flirting with the French language, itching to speak Italian or desperate to read books in Dutch, we’ve got something for you. Come in today and check out the range on offer and remember, it’s free to register
It’s fair to say that some of these activities will help young people ‘STEAM’ into the new normal! More details will follow shortly so be sure to stay tuned to Council’s website and social media channels.
