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: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours,

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
