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.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
