Bring the tamariki for a family-friendly tour of the exhibition ‘He Tohu’ at 10am and learn about three documents that shaped New Zealand. All ages with supervising adult welcome. The duration of the tour is 20 minutes.
We will sketch our ideas for our artwork with pencil and clipboards ‘in situ’ looking at art in the library building and be inspired by famous New Zealanders and the documents that have shaped New Zealand (Declaration of Independence, Treaty of Waitangi, Women’s Suffrage Petition) to create a big artwork together. What is your Dream for Aotearoa? Come and find out more about your identity, culture and how to express yourself. All ages welcome. Caregivers can grab a coffee but are expected to supervise their children during the duration of the programme. Please book in to secure your spot!
Our experienced learning facilitators will make this tour fun for children and adults alike. Staff will lead the activities and help children to be creative.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

The lid of my compost bin broken.
