Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

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.

Out of volcanic rocks I had lying stacked against the house wall/fence by the back gate. 😃 AND I made a new little potato garden (out of the few rocks I had left over!) between the two existing vege gardens for some of my overcrowded spuds coz I'm getting tiddlers, and although they are … View moreOut of volcanic rocks I had lying stacked against the house wall/fence by the back gate. 😃 AND I made a new little potato garden (out of the few rocks I had left over!) between the two existing vege gardens for some of my overcrowded spuds coz I'm getting tiddlers, and although they are very tasty, I'd like some bigger ones too. 😃 AND the neighbours' cat visited me just after I'd finished building the gardens and then cleaning up the mess, so there's a couple photos of her rolling around on the patch of grass I'd just pulled some from to mulch the potatoes with! She must like the smell of freshly cut grass just as much as I do!!!!!!!! 😃 OR she just likes my scent, and looks forward to when the lockdown finishes, so I can pat her again!!!!! 😃 Heheheheheh!!!!!!!! 😃 In the meantime, *ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!* 😃

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.
