Upper Hutt Library Closure:
• My recent experience of the Upper Hutt City Council and the validity of the information that they disseminate is that they a have questionable relationship with the truth and a hard time being accountable to the people they serve.
• Can we see the report? Perhaps someone could request a copy under the official information act?

• I expect a review of the changes to the Library layout and the removal of genre from fiction, to go ahead regardless of the outcomes to the Library building.

• The systems and process changes (so called philosophical trend) that was forced on Library members should be opened to public scrutiny and opinion.

I like many others wonder what this means for the other Civic buildings. Given their age I wonder how safe they are and whether or not they are able to be bought up to code? I also wonder if Council have been aware of the circumstances for years and for both political and fiscal reasons have been hoping it might be ok or all go away?

I am pleased to see how many Upper Hutt people love and value their Library! Not just to read a book but also to enjoy the experience of library.

On my part, I am glad the closure will mean an hiatus to the indiscriminate sale of book stocks.
Some reference and non-fiction volumes I have seen offered for sale, have been valuable definitive works of their kind. It looks to me like a book is only valuable if it is taken out X number of times in a given time frame and the value of its content is not counted – expensive near new books sold for a few dollars.
Indicative and symptomatic of nonqualified staff versus a degree holding Librarian who understands the value of books contents.

See you all at Lower Hutt Library!!!!!

Does your loved one ride a motorcycle?

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.
