Ngā mihi o te wā ki a koutou katoa.
The year is coming to an end but there are still exciting things happening at the National Library.
Come see our newly opened exhibition The long waves of the ocean: New responses to Pacific poems in our main gallery.
We have our final Public History Talk for this year on Wednesday 7 December with Paul Diamond speaking about his acclaimed new book Downfall: The destruction of Charles Mackay.
Later that day you can also attend the showing of This is New Zealand. This short film, produced for Expo ’70 in Osaka Japan, has been recognised as a landmark production by the UNESCO Memory of the World Aotearoa New Zealand Trust.
We are planning some fabulous events for 2023. One of the first will be the D. F. McKenzie Memorial Lecture on 31 January. This year the lecture will be given by Professor Tom Mole, author The secret life of books (2019). More details about this, and other events, will be on the National Library website soon.
The Library will close early at 1pm on Friday 23 December. We look forward to welcoming you back when we re-open on Monday 9 January 2023.
Many of our events are recorded. You can browse our available recorded events on our website and enjoy them at your leisure.

I wasn’t an overweight child, but from as young as 5 years I can recall comparing myself unfavorably with two painfully thin twins in my dance class and thinking that was what I was supposed to look like. I’m not sure how I got the idea that I should be very thin.
