Book Group at South Library - every 2nd Monday of the month
Kia ora neighbours!
I am a librarian at Christchurch City Libraries, and the convener of a book group, part of the Book Discussion Scheme, at South Library in Beckenham.
Meeting time: 2nd Monday of the month, 6pm-7pm
We are looking for new members, as a couple of our lovely members have had to leave due to other commitments. We are a friendly bunch of ladies, with lively conversation and a great mix of opinions, thoughts and experiences.
Anyone is welcome - a love of reading would be great, but we also welcome anyone who would like to try something new :)
A charge does apply for membership - this is paid yearly, so depending on when you join this varies. 1 full year is $60 and you will be provided with 10 books through this time.
Please feel free to contact me - any questions are warmly welcomed.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
