Craniums Character Hunt

Join the hunt for real live storybook characters at Whangarei Central Library.

Gather at 10.​15 am and pick up a game card to join in this exciting hunt. Then search the nooks and crannies of the library to find your favourite storybook characters. Persuade each character to complete your game-card and be in to win prizes.
