BINTULU: The BDA Bintulu Public Library continues to play a central role in community development by organising meaningful and engaging activities for children and families throughout December 2025. Through its Weekend Wonderkids programme and related initiatives, the library has reinforced its position as more than just a place for books, but a learning hub that nurtures creativity, early education and community bonding.
The programme officially kicked off on Friday, December 12, with a Christmas card-making session led by Kak EL at 3.00 pm in the Children’s Activity Room. The activity attracted children eager to express their creativity through simple craft work while learning the value of thoughtful gestures during the festive season. Parents observed that such sessions help children develop patience, imagination and confidence, all within a safe and supervised environment.
Following the positive response to the first session, attention now turns to the upcoming activities scheduled at the library. On Friday, December 19, a morning activity titled Guess the Number of Gift Boxes will be held at 9.00 am. This interactive session is expected to test children’s observation skills and logical thinking in a fun and relaxed setting. Later on the same day, at 3.00 pm, the library will host a creative session using 3D pens, allowing participants to explore basic design concepts through hands-on practice.
Library officials noted that the activities were carefully arranged to suit different age groups and time preferences, ensuring wider participation. Registration for the programmes has been made simple through an online link, while the library remains open to inquiries from parents and guardians who require further information.
In addition to its indoor programmes, the library’s involvement in community activities extended beyond its walls. The festive mood of December was also felt during Bintulu Car Free Morning, where the spirit of learning and family engagement promoted by the library aligned well with broader community goals. Activities such as art sessions, puzzles and creative play echoed the values championed by the BDA Bintulu Public Library, particularly the importance of lifelong learning and healthy social interaction.
The library’s consistent efforts reflect a long-standing approach to public service, where education, culture and community well-being are treated as shared responsibilities. By focusing on children and families, the BDA Bintulu Public Library helps lay a strong foundation for future generations while keeping traditional values of learning and togetherness alive in a modern setting.
As December comes to a close, the positive response to the library’s programmes sends a clear message that community-based learning initiatives remain relevant and necessary. With continued support from the public and local stakeholders, the BDA Bintulu Public Library is expected to expand its role further as a trusted centre for knowledge, creativity and community connection in Bintulu.
