Kia ora! Welcome to Public Libraries of New Zealand

"Literacy is a system of codes just waiting to be cracked! once you have, the world becomes an easier place to navigate .”

 

 

Literacy: the ability to read and write, to acquire computer literacy, to improve your financial literacy, to recognise emotional literacy, to learn about cultural literacy.

Literacy: a person's knowledge of a particular subject or field.

It's a big word that means "smarts". 

To understand, to know, to feel confident.

Today’s libraries are where people feed their imaginations, rebuild their lives, find direction, upskill themselves, and put growth, understanding and tolerance into practice. 

 

In a world overloaded with information, spotting fake from fact is vitally important for decision making.  Having access to trusted and reliable information is mission-critical. Literate communities are more cohesive, stable and high-functioning, more resilient, tolerant, and better able to develop and participate in enterprise and growth opportunities in all things life. Check us out.

 

Join a Public Library today and belong for life!

Kete - the place to find our stories

Book News · Ngā Kōrero O Te Wā

Kohi ai a Kete i ngā arotake me ngā kōrero mō ngā pukapuka, ngā kaupapa me ngā hui tuku tohu i Aotearoa. Tirotiro ai a Kete i ia wiki kia kore koe e mate ki te pērā (Ngā Hēmi Kelly i whakamāori)

Kete is home to some of the world's finest storytellers, with new writers emerging all the time, we need people writing about our books, reviewing them, critiquing them, and highlighting what's new, and who's new.

Editor of Kete, Dionne Christian, puts it most eloquently, "It is these stories that reflect but also shape our identity - and provide a way to talk about where we have been, where we're at, and perhaps most significantly of all, where we want to go."

Kete is the place to find news on the latest books and links to interviews, articles, extracts, and more.

 

Connect today with stories about our place, our people. Check out Kete, and ask at your local library what's available today.
