Get ready to unleash your inner superhero, cartoonist, and creative genius in this action-packed comic-themed experience these school holidays.

During September and October, Sunshine Coast Libraries invite comic superfans to complete a Scavenger Hunt and clever champions to undertake the Super Serious Comic Quest. Aspiring artists can bring wild ideas to life in our Animal Mash-Up or design their own epic tales in Comic Book Creation.
