A week of fun times, events and excitement are nearly upon us! This year, to celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori a keen crew have curated together a week long programme of events just for library staff to celebrate te Reo Māori.

Events imminent upon the Horizon include:
* supporting the Mihi Whakatau in Central Library on Monday morning for the launch of University wide events,
* A team quiz challenge (think pub quiz format without the pub or booze though there will be prizes and of course -winners will have bragging rights).
* A daily “He pātai o te rā:Question of the day” quiz which will feature on Counterculture,
* A scavenger hunt that can be completed individually or in pairs around campus over the course of the week- competition ends 5pm on the Thursday
* Two bilingual storytimes to be held at Central Library with our on campus Early Childhood Centres
* A fun session of Wharewhare (Bingo) focusing on kupu Māori for the numbers 1-50 and family words e.g. mother, father, baby,aunt etc.
* A Waiata session followed by a shared kai to wind up our week of celebrations.

So remember whānau, participation and fun is what it’s all about (and of course if you’re competitively inclined, you’ve got to be in it to win it! )

More detailed information about the different events will be forthcoming next week. Events are open to all and we would love to see you there.
