  <title>Mini Maker: Shapes and numbers</title>
  <description>Letandrsquo;s count, sort, and match different things.</description>
  <pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:55:38 AEST</pubDate>
  <bodytext>&lt;p&gt;Our Mini Maker program engages children aged 3 - 5 and their parent or carer in creative learning. Each month brings a new theme and activity, encouraging families to explore art through stories, songs, sensory play, and simple crafts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With plenty of chances to get messy and creative, kids develop fine motor skills and self-expression, supported by their grown-ups. This shared experience is all about learning, playing, and growing together in a relaxed, friendly environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this session, let&amp;rsquo;s count, sort, and match different things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A fun and welcoming program designed for babies 12 months and under and their carers. Each month, Baby Explorers offers a new way to play, connect, and discover art together through special themed activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sessions include stories and songs in our colourful sensory pit, a guided tour of the current Main Gallery exhibition, and hands-on activities inspired by the senses; from textures and sounds to colours and simple crafts. Each tour highlights different artworks from the exhibition, meaning no two sessions are the same!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To celebrate your baby&amp;rsquo;s milestone, each little explorer will also receive a special Museum &amp;amp; Gallery Tour Certificate to take home.&lt;br /&gt;

  <title>Exquisite Corpse: Shadow Lines and Optical Art</title>
  <description>Celebrate Halloween with a creative after-hours workshop inspired by Anatomy Lessons by Michele Beevors.
</description>
  <pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 10:53:47 AEST</pubDate>
  <bodytext>&lt;p&gt;Celebrate Halloween with a creative after-hours workshop inspired by &lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anatomy Lessons&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; by Michele Beevors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After exploring the exhibition in a low-lit gallery with only the glow of a torch, you&amp;#39;ll take part in the surreal drawing game &lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Exquisite Corpse&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Sketch different animal bones, forms and details from across the exhibition to create your own strange, Frankenstein-inspired creature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moving to the art studio, you will be guided through a range of playful mark-making techniques using paint markers and oil pastels to transform your sketches into a bold, finished artwork.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gather your friends, embrace the Halloween spirit and discover a different way to enjoy Michele Beevors&amp;#39; extraordinary knitted animal skeletons in this unique adults-only after-hours experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No drawing experience is needed, this workshop is designed to be relaxed, creative and fun.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>October Pride Book Club: Queer Horror</title>
  <description>Join us for Pride Book Club at the library!</description>
  <pubDate>Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:33:28 AEST</pubDate>
  <bodytext>&lt;p&gt;Join us for the August Pride Book Club at the library!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Join us on the last Thursday of each month at Clive James Library, Kogarah for the Pride Book Club, where we read and discuss books that explore LGBTQIA+ experiences, voices, and themes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This club is a space for celebrating queer stories in all their variety, from fiction to memoir, graphic novels to poetry. It&amp;rsquo;s also a space to connect with others in an open, respectful, and inclusive environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whether you&amp;rsquo;re a lifelong reader or just starting out, everyone is welcome. Each month we&amp;rsquo;ll highlight a different theme or focus, encouraging conversations around identity, representation, and the power of storytelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come along to share your thoughts, discover new favourites, and celebrate the diverse world of queer literature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;October&amp;rsquo;s Theme:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Queer Horror &amp;amp; Dark Fiction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A month of eerie atmospheres, unsettling twists, and beautifully dark storytelling. We&amp;rsquo;ll dive into queer horror, gothic tales, and stories that explore fear, desire, and the unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suggested reads from the &lt;a data-msys-clicktrack=&quot;0&quot; href=&quot;https://georgesriver.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?QRY=SVL(PRIDECOLLECTION)&amp;amp;SORTS=SQL_RANDOM&amp;amp;NRECS=6&amp;amp;QRYTEXT=Pride%20Collection&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;https://georgesriver.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?QRY=SVL(PRIDECOLLECTION)&amp;amp;SORTS=SQL_RANDOM&amp;amp;NRECS=6&amp;amp;QRYTEXT=Pride%20Collection&quot;&gt;Georges River Libraries Pride Collection&lt;/a&gt; include:&lt;/p&gt;
