Don't book on the library replacing David Jones when it closes next year.
The store, part of a trans-Tasman chain owned by South Africa-based Woolworths, will close in June next year, with the loss of more than 150 jobs and the prospect of a gaping hole in the city’s golden mile.

The store, part of a trans-Tasman chain owned by South Africa-based Woolworths, will close in June next year, with the loss of more than 150 jobs and the prospect of a gaping hole in the city’s golden mile.
Experts say it is unsuitable for a library and are confident new tenants will be found. Offices and multiple retailers on the ground floor are considered more likely.

{Ladies, a free Facebook place to promote your business, skills, entrepreneurial endeavours, courses, mentoring, volunteer roles or requests, to offer and ask for help, paid or unpaid] I was thinking as I was walking yesterday ...

... isn't is tricky sometimes to let the world 'out there' know about the skills you have to share, the help you can give, what you have to offer...

... so I did something about it and here you have it 'Women helping Women NZ', a FREE space for women on Facebook, to share your skills, promote your business, things you have on the go, mentoring, volunteer tasks, a place where you can offer help, ask for help, a space where you can find a babysitter, a lawyer, a good art class, a meal, an interior designer, a wellbeing course to help you find calm and more.

Shared by women, for women (and of course anyone, not just women, can access it and seek out what you have to offer), because sometimes you just want another woman to help you, or you want to support you know, other women.

Check it out www.facebook.com... and be one of the first to post your details (check the admin post for guidelines so your information is searchable) and lets see where the journey takes us ...
