From the Library

By Anna Jong

Printing service

Printing your documents at our libraries has just become a lot easier! You can now send your printing directly from your device. No more trying to remember your email password or waiting for the next available computer.

All you need to do is email your file/s to monitor@print.apnk.nz whereupon you’ll receive a reply giving you a unique Job ID as well as a map of libraries handy to your location. You can then present this Job ID at your nearest library to collect your printing.

If you’re sending a print job from home, it’s a good idea to call the library you plan to collect your printing from to confirm the correct print job has been received. For example, when printing an email attachment, double-check that the attachment has been received, and not just the email itself. And don’t worry, your document/s are deleted automatically as soon as they’re printed.

Martinborough StoryWalk®

Wellington Waterfront has its poetry walk; now we have our own StoryWalk®installation at Considine Park!

A fun activity for the whole family, StoryWalk® combines the benefits of outdoor exercise and reading to promote overall well-being.  Follow the story from one wooden post to another, see if you can guess what happens next, and race each other to the next post, or proceed at a more leisurely pace and let the anticipation build.

December’s feature story is The Fairies Night Before Christmas – children especially will delight in going from board to board as this festive story unfolds.

Thanks to the efforts of the Friends of Martinborough Library, the Wairarapa Library Service, the Considine Park committee, and the Martinborough Menz Shed, the community now has an asset for nature- and book-lovers to enjoy for years to come.
