NZ Book Month at Rodney Libraries

This is the week when New Zealand Book Month REALLY comes to Rodney Libraries. There are several events around the district so here is a quick run down.

Orewa Library

Wednesday 21 October at 2pm hear Michael Irwin speak at the Orewa Library. Michael is the author of Educating Boys which is called a "practical handbook" on "what's working and what is not" based on research, experience and lengthy discussions with the boys themselves.

Kumeu Library

Local artist Gaylene Earl will once again be at the Kumeu Library this week, looking for up to 100 local people to help to create a couple of pieces of art using old and withdrawn library books, which can then be displayed in the library. She will be at the library on Wednesday 21 October from 10am to 12 noon and again on Thursday 22 October from 3pm to 5pm.

The Kumeu Book Club also meets this week on Thursday 22 October at 7pm. The book for this month is Leaving Home by Anita Brookner and the November title is Adam Bede by George Eliot.

Warkworth Library

Cuisine magazine Editor and author Lauraine Jacobs can be found at two events in north Rodney on Friday 23rd October, so why not kick off your long weekend in style. She will be hosting a High Tea at Brookview Teahouse in Matakana at 10.30am. Later the same day you can indulge in a glass of wine and listen to Lauraine speaking at the old Masonic Hall (next to the Library) in Warkworth at 6pm. She is promoting her new book A Treasury of New Zealand Baking.
