What's on March!
Posted on 27 February 2020
Following a highly successful Heritage month, March focuses on authors and publishing.
Ocean Reeve Publishing is touring New Zealand in March and is coming to Waipā prior to releasing Lisa Tamati's new book 'Relentless'. Our libraries will be hosting the free 2 hour seminars in both locations.
Local authors Julie Thomas and Trudi Caffell will also be sharing their knowledge at two presentation style workshops in Cambridge.
For our younger audiences, Te Awamutu Library will host a special Te Reo Singalong Show with author Sharon Holt in what will be another highlight for the month and is sure to delight children in attendance.
