The library set up a Connecta construction zone as part of its school holiday program and librarian April Wood said the children came up with lots of different ideas using the straws.
“They had lots of fun, they spent an hour getting really creative,” she said.
The children, aged between five and eight years old, used their imaginations to comes up with a range of designs varied from lasers to a multi-balancing flower.
Mrs Wood said the children took their time coming up with the designs, but were very quick to helping with the packing up.
She said the library has been busy during the school holidays with two events each week.
Albury Council’s Spring into School Holidays event will continue this week with Yoga4Kidz and a screening of movie Matilda at Lavington Library on Thursday, then finish with a humans v zombies nerf gun game at Hovell Tree Park on Friday.
