Share your stories of those who served in WW1 at Waikato District Libraries
You are invited to stop in to any of the Waikato District Libraries and discover, connect and share stories of those who served in the First World War.
The He Pou Aroha Community Cenotaph roadshow will be at our libraries over the coming months.
The roadshow, by Auckland War Memorial Museum, allows you to learn about the people who served as well as share your own personal stories.
People are encouraged to get out their photographs, letters, medals and objects that belonged to family and friends who served and bring them along to scan and upload to the database. You can also lay virtual poppy against a specific person’s name and contribute additional information to the database.
The Community Cenotaph will be at our libraries on the following dates:
• Te Kauwhata Library: now until Thursday 18 Jan 2018
• Tuakau Library: Tuesday 20 February 2018 - Friday 16 March 2018
• Huntly Library: Tuesday 20 March 2018 - Saturday 28 April
• Ngaruawahia Library: Tuesday 1 May 2018 - Saturday 2 June 2018
• Raglan Library: Tuesday 5 June 2018 - Friday 6 July 2018
This is your chance to acknowledge and remember those who served our country, and to create lasting memories for future generations.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
