It suggests rows of books in which to browse, make discoveries and pass them on to friends and family. Beyond being a resource centre for culture and practical information, a typical library is also a community meeting ground and a safe drop-in space for kids after school. It is also one of the relatively few public destinations in town where people don’t have to spend money. At present, the content and function of libraries – and the funding for them – are in flux. Those on higher incomes don’t need or use libraries as much. central-library libraries media Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159321 Wellington Scoop 2024-04-03T00:00:00Z -41.288190150000005 174.77673076998568 Wellington Central Library, Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147253 libraries central-library earthquake-strengthening media Thu, 08 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147253 Wellington Scoop 2022-09-08T00:00:00Z -41.288190150000005 174.77673076998568 Wellington Central Library, Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=144023 libraries media Tue, 26 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=144023 Wellington Scoop 2022-04-26T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136122 libraries media Wed, 12 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136122 Wellington Scoop 2021-05-12T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135573 libraries media Mon, 19 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135573 Wellington Scoop 2021-04-19T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135398 central-library libraries media Fri, 09 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=135398 Wellington Scoop 2021-04-09T00:00:00Z -41.288190150000005 174.77673076998568 Wellington Central Library, Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=134604 Open letter to the Wellington Mayor and City Councillors I write with a degree of alarm and anger over your proposals for the Central Library and Te Ngakau/Civic Centre.

There is strong demand ‘to just reopen it.’ Problem is the Council cannot ‘just reopen it’. central-library wcc libraries government media Sun, 19 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129661 Wellington Scoop 2020-07-19T00:00:00Z -41.288190150000005 174.77673076998568 Wellington Central Library, Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129609 The rumours are true.

What’s happening? The prefabs are here! In a much anticipated event, four prefab classrooms were lowered in to place on the school field last weekend. These four classrooms will provide more space on campus and will be important as the school moves through the master planning process. There is still some work to do onsite and we anticipate that they will be in use from the first day of Term 3. Outdoor Education This week Year 11 students have been out on the water to Makaro (Ward Island). Students participated in a beach clean up and spent time looking at the habitats of Little Blue Penguins. The fact that students were able to observe seals and penguins on the rocks and in the water was a real bonus.   Art      This week we share stunning landscapes painted by Ms Peters’ Year 10 Art class.      Year 13 took advantage of the winter sun and fine colours to work outdoors. Āwhina Āwhina is our Thursday homework club which takes place in the Library every week. This popular, supportive environment is one where students can come for support with assignments and homework, thanks to the dedicated teachers who regularly give up their time after school each week.
