Upper Hutt Library Changes
On Monday 24th April I emailed all the Councillors individually, except for Steve Taylor whose address I mucked up, he got his a week later.
I asked for their help to get UHCC to provide me with the research evidence of the other similar libraries here and overseas, that Council quote as being successful in increasing Library viability, and number of books borrowed since adopting said philosophy.
I requested all the stats/data and sources that UHCC obtained and used as their comparative basis/template/model to change our Library. I have been asking for this since the beginning of February. Either they don’t have it – or they just don’t want me to have it!
I also asked all the Councillors to pop into our Library and give themselves 15mins of an imagined half hour lunch hour to find just two books one by genre and one other by author after H and let me know how they go.
I also have asked if the Library counts/logs requests for help and if they also count ‘over the counter complaints’? They should, in my opinion, be responsible for gathering all user comments, formal or informal.
I also asked that they please contact me to put my face to my name. I am still waiting to be contacted, acknowledged or dignified by any of them.
Wow. How sad is that Upper Hutt? Your elected representatives don’t even have good manners enough to acknowledge my email. Not a single one!
How is that OK to ignore the people you serve, the people who pay you? Contact your elected representatives and make them accountable.
Please add your voice to mine, email your council and say to them just what you have said here on Neighbourly.

Biding Time - Time Out
It is so sad to see and hear an honest, solid achieving gentleman politician that is Joe Biden, the leader of the free world and the leader of the number one super power and economic giant nation, fail in mind and body so that he is no longer hanging on in facing the terror and threat of the appaulingTrump retaking the reigns of power.
Well before the presidents debate of a few days ago was it obvious Biden was not up to the mark anymore. The use of a teleprompter made his recent State of the Union speech sound pitch perfect but his slip-up performances at the G7 meetings in Italy a few weeks ago was reported as pitiful
The sooner he calls it quits from contesting the Presidency and orchestrates the Vice President Harris take over winning the November elections for the Democrats, the better.
Make no mistake the writing is on the wall for Biden.
Whoever wins the USA presidency for the next 4 years from the start of 2025 - Harris or Trump - will affect NZ and Upper Hutt substantially.
Why are ghosts such bad liars?
...You can see right through them.
