      <title>The law and the Library</title>
      <link>http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129661</link>
      <description>Our Central Library is hugely missed by so many of us, a place to go, to be, without cost or expectation, a place to learn, a place to find adventure in the pages of a good book, a place that added life to Te Ngakau Civic Square – the heart of our city. There is strong demand ‘to just reopen it.’  Problem is the Council cannot ‘just reopen it’.</description>

      <title>The rumours are true</title>
      <link>http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129609</link>
      <description>The rumours are true. For ages, people have been telling me that the city council has been talking to developers about privatising the Central Library building. Each time, I’ve responded with doubt. But this week the plan has become public – and Councillor Fitzsimons who heads the council’s library portfolio says the news has surprised her.</description>
