Our Libraries

Annette from Waikanae

Like others I was concerned about overdue fees for my library books.
I had trouble finding any info about this.
However I found the following, very well hidden info, on the Spydus site so I thought I'd share it.
Stay safe everyone. See you on the other side.

Kāpiti Coast District Libraries are closed until further notice.
We know that this will be hard for our customers, but we want to be sure that we are all safe.

Please keep library items at home until we let you know otherwise. Book return slots will be closed.

All loans will be extended by 6 weeks as of 23 March 2020. If we are closed for longer than 6 weeks, we will extend loans again. There will be no fines for that period.

We encourage you to use our Axis360 and PressReader apps. Use your library card and password to log in (if you have no password you will be able to create one.

We will be working on ways to keep library resources available, but at the moment we don’t know what that will look like.

We will be keeping our Facebook page and website updated as we receive new information.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
