If anyone has any spare complete packs of cards, I would be a very grateful recipient. I am wanting about 30 packs and thought I would ask around before purchasing…in the interests of recycling etc.

The incredibly deeply traditional annual Christmas last  day picnic on Level 4 has been scheduled for Monday the 23rd of December. If you are at work, come and join the festivities at 12 midday in the children’s fiction area. BYO everything.

In true Librarian fashion, there is a morning tea planned to welcome Lisa to the Subject Librarian team.

Wednesday 14th of August at 10.30 in the Central Library staff room.  Bring a small plate to share if you are able. Otherwise just bring yourself.  The more the merrier.

A friendly reminder about the monthly Māori Research Hui week Thursday 23 August at noon

The agenda features two kaupapa. The Māori Development Team will be represented by John Kapa espousing the Team’s engaging work that supports promising pathways for Māori postgrads. We will also be introducing another of our promising doctoral scholars, Grace Walker (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāruahine Rangi) presenting on her research, as well as describing her roles with the Christchurch Health and Development Study and with a Whenu Project for the NSC Building Better Homes, Towns, and Cities.

Please do come along and support these research leaders of the future, arā, ngā rangatira mo āpopo.

Teaching the online Get Started! workshops from home last night for the first time.  Fiona was logged in at her place across town.  It went well, with no major hitches.  My stupid cat did start meowing at the top of his lungs while I was delivering content.  When I apologized for the incessant noise, turned out no-one else heard him.  He got chucked outside between workshops. Will that learn him?  Nah, don’t think so.
