Hamilton libraries - closed Tuesday and Wednesday

Our libraries will be closed for the next two days for a major systems upgrade.

Kotui is our new libraries management system and its roll-out is a significant project for us. The closure is the best way for us to undertake a major transferral of data. The work can’t be undertaken while the libraries are open for business.

Testing of the system will also be included in the closure to ensure it’s performing properly when we reopen the doors for customers on 15 June.

We appreciate the closure may inconvenience customers, but the upgrade is essential and the closure represents a tiny percentage of the annual opening hours for the libraries.

The introduction of Kotui won’t change what customers pay for loan items, but the new system will modernise staff and customer access to information on the library’s catalogue. When you look online for items from our collection, our customers will see more information available and have a better user experience.

A mobile phone app for customers will also be rolled out as part of the project.

Customers needing to return items that are due on the two closure dates in June can do so by using the after-hours boxes at the suburban libraries. See hamiltonlibraries.co.nz for more details

Football Basics for Kids

Working with my own players on their basic skills, they improved their game dramatically within a couple of training sessions. I realise that local school coaches aren't emphasising on this area much, so, if there is enough interest, I could conduct training sessions for players between 10-15 to work on their basic skills such as stopping, trapping, kicking, passing, heading and taking throw-ins. From what I've seen, it is also possible to work on simple 'tricks' such as stepovers and body feints to give some dimension to their repertoire of moves. I'd need to have a participant size of 5-7 players to conduct a one-hour training session, with the cost being $10 per participant, per session. Drop me a message or text/call 0277780883 if you think this might be something useful for your child.

Did you know that more than 75% of alleged abusers are family members?

Coming up next - an adult play that proves that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a little crazy.

Jenni Murphy-Scanlon from Riverlea Theatre and Arts Centre

On next at Riverlea Theatre, your warm and friendly community theatre venue, is Cosi. Cosi is a terrific play about madness, illusion, sanity…and theatre.

On next at Riverlea Theatre, your warm and friendly community theatre venue, is Cosi. Cosi is a terrific play about madness, illusion, sanity…and theatre.
Cosi explores a life lesson for Lewis, a young director who takes on the
task of directing a play with the patients who live in a mental hospital
in Australia in 1971. As his life is touched by these extraordinary
people and his operatic production (Cosi Fan Tutte) lurches forward, we
learn, along with Lewis, that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a
little crazy.

Add to this that the demanding piece of opera in Italian is going to be
performed by a cast who only speak English and don't sing! And you have
a wonderful comedy.

Please note that this play is suitable for mature audiences as it contains coarse language and sexual references.
