St Andrews Library closure

Matihiko/Tech Support Librarian from St Andrews Library Waiwherowhero

We’ve had to make the call to close St Andrews Library from 12 March, along with Central Library (which is already closed), as we don’t have enough staff to run them. Omicron strikes again!

Our Chartwell, Hillcrest, Glenview and Dinsdale libraries are still open and we’re offering free book holds, normally $1.50 each, to everyone until all our libraries open again.

You’ll also still be able to return books to any library through the return chute.
We will review the closures in one week.
We appreciate your support while we ride this wave!

Only the Sharpest Minds Will Get This Riddle… Are You One of Them?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I twinkle and glow, guiding paths in the snow.
I’m not the sun, moon, or star in the sky,
yet on rooftops and trees, you’ll see me up high.
What am I?

Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.

The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.

Do you think a partial demolition is the right call? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
