Karori Library Cauldron of Creation: this month’s new fiction
- Wellington City Libraries
- However, this month’s choice was easy – the new book by top Irish writer Liz Nugent Strange Sally Diamond leapt immediately to the top of the list, especially with our very unexpected role in its creation. Let me elucidate – way back on Thursday 3 October 2019, we staged a very special event at Karori Library in conjunction with the Ngaio Marsh awards. This event featured Liz Nugent in conversation with our own multi award winning author, Kirsten McDougall.

Where did Rongotai Terrace go?
- Wellington City Libraries
- With the launch of the newly digitised Ronald Cameron Airport Collection, we take a look back at a version of Rongotai that no longer exists. Ron extensively documented the development of Wellington Airport and the effect it had on the shape of Rongotai, Evans Bay and Lyall Bay in the 1950s. A selection of his photographs are available to view in person at the Kilbirnie Library throughout the month of June.
