Our response to coronavirus (COVID-19) Alert level 2

Writers Plot Bookshop

Due to all our regular volunteers being in the 'high risk' category we have closed the physical shop from the date of the announcement, Saturday 21st March. This will be reassess on a day by day based on the information provided to us. The online shop remains open for business 24/7.
As the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continue to evolve, we are taking advice from the official government sites and so we are implementing these measures to protect the health of our customers and our volunteers, while ensuring our on-line services continue to operate as normal.

Our books are still available for purchase via the website shop on line pages.
Contact us by email at writersplotreadersread@outlook.com or message us through our facebook page and we can arrange pick up from the shop or drop off for local (Upper Hutt) customers.

For information on how to keep safe during this time - covid19.govt.nz...
This website contains everything you need to know about COVID-19 in one place.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
