Animals are taking over Brimbank libraries throughout the school holidays.

Black Snake Productions Wildlife Show will run across several locations giving children the opportunity to meet some of our native animals up close and personal.

The shows are running at Deer Park library on January 11 at 11am, Sunshine library on January 13 at 2.30pm, Sydenham library on January 18 at 1pm.

Nurturing Natives Workshops will also run at the libraries.

Some will involve making paper plate animals, while other involve creating a home for possum as well as learning about the animals.

The workshops will be at Sydenham library on January 14, St Albans library on January 17 and Keilor library on January 20.
