Sign the kids up for summer reading with our libraries

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Summer is coming but that doesn’t mean our kids’ literacy skills have to slip during the holidays – our libraries have a fantastic summer reading programme!
Children aged five to 11 in Taupō and Turangi can register this week for the Taupō District Libraries Summer Reading Programme 2020/21.
It encourages kids to keep reading during the summer break with incentives for reporting back to our friendly librarians on books the kids are reading.

We also hold a party at the end of the programme for all our participants to attend, where they receive a certificate and a gift!

To find out more and sign up, pop into Taupō or Turangi library this week. Places on the programme are limited, so be quick!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
