"Mostly I go to the library for books. But sometimes I go to exist in a comfortable, peaceful, welcoming space run by people who actually seem to know what they are doing". Library customers are the best! Library aroha on display at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre.

Just got my weekly RNZ Saturday morning email and it says "After 21 years Kim Hill has decided to move on from presenting Saturday Morning. She’ll be leaving the programme at the end of November, but there are plans for her to return in 2024 for a series of long-form interviews."

#OnThisDay in 1972 the Māori language petition, with over 30,000 signatures, was delivered to Parliament. It asked for active recognition of te reo Māori in Aotearoa and for the language to be taught in schools. View the digitised petition online: bit.ly/467cThk
An aged sheet of paper from a petition featuring 3 columns: Signature, Address and Are you Māori yes/no. The page is full of signatures.

I thought this was a rando chair in Fendalton. But it is a cool piece of public art called Book by Fiona Gunn.
