You can come in to the Davis and collect your prize from the Issues Desk (we’re open until 8pm tonight). Well done to EVERYONE who entered, we look forward to seeing you in the library again soon!

We hope that your summer holidays are going really well….bit stink about this rubbish weather we’ve had, though! However, it does make for perfect book escapist! Reading on a rainy or windy day is the best way to beat the holiday blues.

For those of you who are competing in our Read & Win summer reading challenge…don’t forget that there are only EIGHT days left for you to visit the library, get your 4 books issued and earn those 6 stamps! Then you’ll not only get your book prize, but also go in the major prize draw on the 27th of January! Make sure you get those stamps before next Wednesday the 25th so you don’t miss out.

All bonus entries need to be in by Wednesday 25th, too. You can email us (tamariki@wanganuilibrary.com) or pop them in our treasure box in the Children’s section of the Davis Library. We’ve had some stellar entries so far! Keep ‘em coming….

Meri Kirihimete!

Personally I’m working my way through David Weber’s Safehold series, and really enjoying it. A blend between Sci-Fi and historical fiction. If you like the idea of an android equipping galleons with cannons for lots of broadside action look no further
