Wellington City is launching a poetry journal for kids — Tūhono
Wellington City Libraries is launching a poetry journal for kids and teens — Tūhono.
Throughout the month of November, they will be accepting submissions of poetry from writers aged 5 – 18 in Wellington City. The theme for the poems is ‘Tūhono | Connection’ and may be written in English or te reo Māori.
Unlike other poetry journals, work accepted in Tūhono is not a competition — as long as the rules are followed, every piece of work that gets submitted will be published and available to borrow from the library in December 2020.
Tūhono itself — the collection of poetry from young people all over Wellington — will be published as an eBook on OverDrive, so that everyone with a library card can borrow it.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
