Dovetale Press want to give people living with
dementia the pleasure of sharing a great read at
the public library, improving social connection
and confidence. If successful, their Kickstarter
campaign will provide six sets of five Dovetale
Press dementia-friendly books to 20 New
Zealand public libraries. That’s 600 books in all,
or a set of books for shared reading in a group
of six people at 20 public libraries across New
Zealand. If pledging meets 200% success, then
40 libraries will benefit with 1200 books shared
in groups, and so forth. Participating libraries
also receive a digital resource with suggestions
on how to run a dementia-friendly book group.
The Dovetale Press series has been produced
after years of research into reading and
dementia, through the University of Otago and
with support from Bupa NZ.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
