Since the relaunch of our library website nearly a year ago most of online efforts and content have been directed there and not to this blog.

We have also expanded our involvement with other online platforms such as our Facebook page, Twitter and Flickr accounts during this time.

As a result we have decided to cease posting to this blog and focus our efforts instead on our website and other online presences.

Previous content posted here will remain as a record of past events, news etc.

For the latest Dunedin Public Libraries news etc. please head across to our website www.dunedinlibraries.govt.nz

Again the Wanaka Airshow has outdone itself in 2010. It has death defying aerobatics, military displays, aerial dogfights and historic military machinery.

Aircraft on show included: Mitsubishi Zero, Harvard’s, La-9’s, Yak 3, the Aussies new F/A-18’s and my all time favourite fighter aircraft the Spitfire, I just love the deep, throaty sound of it.

If you have a love for military aircraft, whether you are a male or female, you will love this DVD – especially with surround sound.

It’s hard to think of a duo less likely to be helpful as sex counselors than the pompous Desmond Olivier Dingle and his toupee-wearing sidekick Raymond Box.

But counsel they do, attempting to re-enact legendary moments from the coital history of humankind and taking you, the audience, on a probing investigation into the fascinating world of SEX!

Afterwards, a chance to enjoy some light refreshments and an opportunity to mix with the cast

Painting gets underway in the sunshine

Keep an eye on our exterior paint job now underway at the City Library.

The overall site has been redesigned to improve access, offer new content, and aims to meet our customers needs. We hope you like it.

At this stage it’s anticipated we’ll make the change over during the afternoon of Wednesday 29th September.

We’d love to hear your feedback when the new site is live, so do let us know what you think!

Please note that at present the web address that displays in your browser is www.dunedinlibraries.com and that this will change over to www.dunedinlibraries.govt.nz when our new website launches.

Rest assured both addresses will continue to work after the change over and still point you to the new website.
