The end of a busy week and State Highway One has been busy through Warkworth from first thing this morning as people make their escapes from the city on the first long weekend of the spring/summer season. If you are out on the road - be careful out there.
If you haven't already got your reading, music or DVD's for the holiday weekend, all Rodney Libraries are open on Saturday (all slightly different hours so check our website for details - just click on your local library on the map for information).
In the meantime, here are a few snippets from the book world to finish off the week.
Visit the Stuff.co.nz "Books" page to get information on Nick Hornby's latest novel (his first in four years) Juliet, naked and Ozzy Osbourne's biography called I am Ozzy. Several copies of both have already been ordered for Rodney Libraries so watch out for these and ask at your library if you would like to request them.
Check out one of our favourite Kiwi website's Beatties Book Blog for all the up to date national and international news and views in the world of publishing, books and authors. There will be an excerpt in the Sunday Star Times this week of Rachel King's novel Magpie Hall, so that will be worth checking out.
If you are a science fiction, fantasy, graphic novel or pop culture fan, then you will probably already know that the Armageddon Expo is on in Auckland this weekend at the ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane. If you can bear to brave the roads this weekend, it certainly sounds like it is worth a visit.
For information on events around Rodney District over the weekend and through to November check out the Rodney District Council website
Have an awesome weekend everyone.
