Drury Community Library update
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: 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 🪙💰🪙

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
