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: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
