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.
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?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated
