Dunedin Public Libraries News & Reviews Blog

Waitati’s own Mandy Mayhem read us all stories for Turn Off TV Week at the Blueskin Nursery Cafe. A great group of young and old turned up for hot chocolates, coffees and free fluffies for the kids.

Mandy read

‘The Princess and the White Bear King’ by Tanya Batts

and ‘Bad Jelly the Witch’ by Spike Milligan.

We then got to see and feel lots of different kinds of modern cloth nappies.

Michelle came along from the Nappy Network to show us these and answer any questions. She’ll be at the Mosgiel library on Thursday too!

Michelle highlighted the DCC $20 off nappy starter pack and all the reasons why these nappies are great to use!

Mosgiel Library remembers ANZAC day with a new display of books you may like to borrow.

Dancing with the Stars has been popular with TV viewers for some time now. Perhaps you have thought about having  a “twirl on the dance floor”?

The helpful staff at Mosgiel Library have developed a display of books with the subject of Dancing in mind.

Next time you are in do check it out.

Next Saturday March 1 the 2008 Cavalcade organised by the Otago Goldfields Trust will have its finale in Waikouaiti. Hundreds of people on horseback and walking will finish their trails in the town.

The hard working team at Waikouaiti Library have mounted a display to coincide with this event and it’s packed full with maps of trails, photographs, gold mining books, riding paraphernalia and more!

Be sure to catch the action in Waikouaiti this weekend and visit your community library for more information when you’re in town.

Valentines Day may have come and gone but the team at Mosgiel Library want to make all of February the month for romance.

Have a look at this nice display set up by the front doors. When you’re next in take the time to browse and pick up one of the many good romance books on offer!

Hmmm… perhaps something is in the air at Mosgiel…. recall our recent story about weddings

‘What a crack-up’ if you are after a good laugh check out the new display of books on the first floor of the City Library.

Our recent ’summertime and the living is easy’ display was a winner with readers and we’re sure you will like the selection we have here too!

Come and browse and remember to keep an eye on our blog as we post updates here as changes occur.

You will find this display next to the helpful Information Services desk.
