The sun is shining and it is that time of the year where rural New Zealand traditionally celebrates everything country with the A & P Show circuit coming to a town near you.
This weekend Warkworth dusts itself off with the main show day on Saturday the 22nd and an Equestrian Day on Sunday for the horse events which can't be catered for on Saturday. There will be fun, games, animals, competitions, food and trade stands. And just like the last couple of years, the library will be there too.
Gail and I will be at the Show all day (hopefully with sunscreen and not umbrellas) showing off books, music, talking books and all the other resources that the Auckland Libraries give you access too. You will be able to sign up for your new library card on the day and take books out if you see something you fancy (or put your name down for one of the latest releases).
I will be running a Family Storytime at 10.30am in front of the Library site with all my favourite songs and stories so make sure you visit then to help me sing along. We're not in the library for this one so we can make as much noise as we want.
I love A & P Shows. Any excuse for a hotdog and some candyfloss. Plus it's a great gathering and meeting place. I always catch up with people I haven't seen for ages. Come and see the best that the country has to offer on Saturday in Warkworth.

I know it's late - but how did it go?
Just to let everyone know we had a great time at the Show last week (although you would be right in thinking we got a little damp). Photos will follow.
