Drury Community Library update

Mike Jones from Drury Community Library

Hello Drury Community Library followers, here is an update on a couple of upcoming events that you and your family may be interested in.

The library is supporting Dame Valerie Adams and the Middlemore Foundation warm up winter for 15,000 kids. You can see more information about this wonderful initiative at: www.jammiesforjune.org.nz...

Our “Jammies for June” event will be held at the library from 4-5pm on the 26th of June in conjunction with a twilight Matariki ma Puanga twilight story telling session. The library will be a “Jammies for June” drop off point and you can drop your contributions, new Jammies and/or Blankets here.

As you are probably aware, our earlier Robot Day Holiday Programme was cancelled due to the weather and is now rescheduled on Thursday 3rd July from 10am – 1.30pm. Put this in your diary, it is sure to be a popular event.

The library will be trialling opening on Tuesdays as a 6 month, this may be be extended depending on the uptake.

Damson Plum Jam is available at the library at $5.00 per jar, watch this space regarding availability of Marmalade.

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.
