News And Events

Upstairs In The Chill Zone

Nimita is busy adding lots of great teen fiction . But because of vandalism we've had to limit this area to book borrowers until we get new cameras and furniture sorted. Readers, keep an eye out on the white table upstairs. The Aotearoa NZ People's Network project also means more computers 4 U to use, so check the Projects page out...
