Something I found and wanted to share….
What librarians & Google are for…
Librarians are there:
To help, aid, assist. To teach, collate, enthuse. To catalogue, index, arrange, organise. To find, discover, promote, display. To interest, intrigue, amuse and amaze. To instill wonder. To help children, adults, old people, the underprivileged, the rich, the poor, those with voices and those without. To protect resources, to archive them, to store them, to save them for the future. To provide differing viewpoints, to engender thought, conversation, research, fun. To provide the best answer possible, to match the answer to the enquirer, to provide just enough information without overwhelming the user, but enough to always help. To better a local community, a company, a school, a college, an organisation, a country, the world.
Google is there:
To make money.
I have finished uploading the photos from Friday into Flickr – and here’s a few:
We have our Family Christmas Party this Friday 9 Decemebr from 4-6pm.
Dare to Explore is the theme for the Summer Reading Adventure – details will be on the website from Thursday 1 December. Check out the School Holiday pages for the information!
I found this wonderful article in Good Reading Magazine which talked about the blog http://bigbookcase.wordpress.com/ dealing with helping children to read/with their reading – very interesting

Happening in the community in September….

The Storylines Festival is nearly here! Might see you there?
There is to be a community cleanup of the Village and surrounding areas on Saturday 23 July from 1-5. Carol-Anne has all the details – and afternoon tea will be provided.
The library invited students from Mangere Bridge School and Waterlea School to hear Janene Cooper talk about her book “A dog like that”. It was very interesting learning about her dog – the one the story is about! 
The library staff are fundraising with a Pink Ribbon Breakfast. If you would like to sponsor us please follow the link below.
