It's Auckland Anniversary weekend. The Libraries will be open our usual Saturday hours. We will be closed on Sunday and Monday. Did you know that the arrival of Hobson in the Bay of Islands is celebrated as the anniversary of the founding of the province of Auckland? Apparently the official day for Auckland Anniversary is 29 January but it's usually observed on the closest Monday. I guess we need the long weekend so we can get to all the events that are on...
