Sending Love from the Library

Jess Payne from Wellington City Libraries and Community Spaces

Wellington City Libraries is proud to be participating in The Sending Love Christmas campaign again this year.

Sending Love is an initiative to write Christmas cards to be distributed to elderly who will be lonely this Christmas and who do not usually receive cards. Just write a card and leave it in the box before 9 December. Your cards will then be distributed to rest homes so that people who may be lonely this Christmas can know there's someone who cares.

Some pointers for card-writing:

 Make sure your card is filled with love.

 Make it as creative as you can.

 Ensure it has a legible message.

 Leave your envelope unsealed.

 Try to avoid religious quotes.

 Just be you!

Wellington City Libraries’ Central branch is a drop-off point for Sending Love Christmas cards. You can find the box on the side of the main desk on the ground floor.


For more information visit the Sending Love website at www.sendinglove.co.nz... On the website you'll also find other drop-off locations around the Wellington region. #sendinglovenz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
