UPPER HUTT CITY LIBRARY

Jan from Ebdentown

I note that the Library will reopen soon in its own purpose built building, owned by us. Books are a costly asset that require specific climate controlled conditions to stop books rotting and being eaten by a variety of insects etc. So any talk of rehousing them anywhere but a purpose built … View moreI note that the Library will reopen soon in its own purpose built building, owned by us. Books are a costly asset that require specific climate controlled conditions to stop books rotting and being eaten by a variety of insects etc. So any talk of rehousing them anywhere but a purpose built environment is just a nonsense.
Our Current Mayor and Council have proven to me that they are less than honest, twist and withhold information to the point of my legally compelling them to give it to me and also tried to redefine the meaning of research.
I have little to no confidence that they might put the Library back to straight forward shelving and genre separation or abandon the so called "philosophical trend" so favoured by M. Read.
Please make your individual voices heard, be counted a txt or email is all it takes to have your say.
Democracy is not a spectator sport, it is interactive, life changing, you pay for it, make it work for you and have a say.

One will leave from Titahi Bay and one from central Porirua at regular intervals, there will be return minibuses to take you back too. You can also walk or cycle there along the coastal walkway, or over the hill down Whitireia Road.

We’ve added some great new activities for land dwellers as well, or for when you’ve finished snorkelling. Anyone aged 8 and above can snorkel (equipment provided) and the land activities are suitable for all ages!

Check the event pages for more information.
