Library news

Wow, have we been busy in the last couple of months.  The library is buzzing with overseas visitors seeking information and using the Wifi and internet services.  Preschoolers are exploring every inch of every part of the library, so watch where you put your feet! 

Some of our customers come in and stay all day, others need to be dragged out of the library by their owners (Mandy the little dog of cuteness who visits us regularly – see Facebook for the video).   Other customers just come for the ambiance and to laugh at the librarians. 

With schools back, the preschool sessions are going strong.  Te Reo Book Babies has moved to Monday as our teacher, Melody, is training on a Friday.  Please use it or we will use it.  Our grant money to run the sessions will run out in August.

Remember The Wairarapa Law Society offer free legal advice once a month in the library.  The next session is on the 24th March from 10 to 12.

Some new interesting books in the library include;
The boy who was raised as a dog; How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you; Peacemongers by Barry Hill; I remember nothing by Nora Ephron and Adolescent volcanoes.  The last title is a best seller in the US for advice on dealing with those teenagers who explode when you look at them sideways or even if you don’t look at them.
Thanks go out to all those lovely customers who have donated books, magazines and DVDs.  Even if they don’t end up on the library shelves, I will always find a good home for them.  Nothing goes to waste in our library.  We have also started a magazine bring and swap stand just outside the door.  Bring in any you have finished with for others to read and help yourself to some different ones.

That’s all for now – check out our Facebook page and come and see us.
