The Warkworth Library are always game for a dress up and have done so several times this year. The Christmas storytime was not complete without some of the staff getting into the spirit by being impish, fairylike and jolly (that's Gail, Anne and Lisa). Sally and Julie were conveniently away that day.
Mrs Santa travelled around the district trying to track down Santa Claus. She thought she might find him at Warkworth or Whangaparaoa libraries but missed him at both. He is obviously a very busy man at this time of year.
Clifford was a big hit around the libraries in October. He is a regular visitor and entertained children (big and small) all the Rodney libraries over the space of two weeks. Here he is with Merrill at Whangaparaoa Library helping to give out certificates.
Kiwi Author Gavin Bishop visited the Kumeu Library as part of the Storylines Festival in August so Tina and Cathy asked him to pose with them for a photo opportunity. We have some fantastic authors and illustrators producing some exceptional talent.One of the biggest events that happened in 2010 for the libraries was of course the amalgamation into the biggest library system in Australiasia on 1st November. We didn't just get bigger though. We got better as people throughout the region embraced the new library system with enthusiasm. Over the past few days here in Warkworth Library we have been getting some fantastic feedback from people who are coming to the area to holiday. This year they can use their Auckland, Manukau, Franklin, Papakura or Waitakere library cards to take books out and there are smiles all round.
So the only thing left to say now is have a fantastic and safe festive season. May Santa bring you the goodies you wanted, may the food be good, the beverages cold and have a very Merry Christmas.
