School Holidays – our Tuesday Storytime with Ronnie was very popular & the children made an amazing array of hacky sacs which were decorated as birds. So far we have not been as busy as usual in the holidays. I’m not sure why. Borrower habits are always abit of a mystery to me.
Coming Up
Tuesday 21st, 7.30pm – we are hosting Tui De Roy & Mark Jones – the authors of “Albatross: Their world, their ways” which is a Montana NZ Book Award finalist this year. They will present in words, pictures, sound & film clips the story behind the book. We are looking forward to a great evening. Friends of the Library will do the supper.
Friday 24th, 12 noon – Poetry & Lunch. To celebrate Montana Poetry Day we are inviting poets & lovers of poetry to share their work & favourite poems at an informal get-together over lunchtime.
U-Read Party – Friday 31st after school. We will celebrate the programme & draw the big winner & spot prizes.
Library Week
We have Melanie Drewery coming for a morning session though unfortunately not for the Big Read .
Gillian Jackson a delightful 80 year old is going to tell us about her adventures climbing in the Mt Cook area 70 years ago – this will be a slide show.
Golden Bay Cement Company 1940s to 1950s – we will play this DVD at lunchtimes & on demand.
That is all that is planned so far & it might just about be enough given we have 2 events in the second to last week of July.
