310 Aucklanders trespassed from libraries between Jan 2016 and Feb 2020

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).

Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.

Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.

This weekend as we reflect in our homes rather than at local Dawn Services we acknowledge the service of all those who served for New Zealand in Gallipoli, the Somme, Malaya or are out on patrol today with the United Nations.

We shall remember them this Anzac Day.

Remember to keep safe and all the best for the weeks ahead, my contact details are below if you need any assistance.

Here are a couple of links to the RSA please just give $5 that is only one of the 20 or 30 coffees we have not had this month. The RSA does a great job and really depends on Poppy day to help them look after all our returned servicemen. These guys and girls have been places, seen and done things and some have not come back. All so we can enjoy the life we had and will have again

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Hi there. I've been teaching and counselling young people for around 13 years. I am a fully registered counsellor with NZAC and have been counselling young people for around 4 years. I currently work at Howick College as a full time student counsellor.

These are difficult times for teenagers. I have some spare time on my hands!! If you're a teenager needing someone to chat to, or if you have a teenager in your bubble who you think might gain some relief through a bit of counselling, I'm happy to arrange a skype, zoom, or email counselling session. I can make a few appointments available, ideally between about 3pm - 6pm. If you're interested please email me at davidfinn29@hotmail.com. (This is free counselling). Thanks and all the best to everyone continuing to battle through this lockdown!
