Books Alive Special Events
Waipā District Libraries have been chosen again to host a Books Alive Meet the Finalists event and two Virtual Storytimes.
Egg & Spoon, an illustrated cookbook, is a finalist in the Elsie Locke Award for Non-Fiction. The Books Alive event will be held live on Zoom. Support our event through your participation! We want to engage all our Waipā tamariki who love to cook and they could win a copy of the book!
For more information and to sign up to the Zoom meeting go to our events page.
Hound the Detective and This is where I stand are finalists in the Picture Book Award. These will be published on Facebook as virtual storytimes on Friday 30 July and Monday 2 August respectively.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
30.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
69.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Poll: How are your manu skills?
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.
Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
How are your manu skills? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
