Bad blogger - Bad bad blogger. The fact that I have the voice of a frog and a broken finger is no excuse for the distinct lack of blogging last week... BUT what a week it was! Fantastic weather and fireworks. Lots of visitors to Aotearoa. Wonderful sport (no walkovers) but bad traffic. And the tenth anniversary or 9/11 to bring a more sombre note to the weekend.
Rugby World Cup Events. Check out this page on our libraries website for displays and event information during the Wolrd Cup.
Auckland Libraries. For all those visitors to Auckland (and some of the locals), why not check out what's on offer at the library. From free wifi and community spaces, to some wonderful exhibitions and displays of books and other items held by the library. There are over 50 locations araound Auckland that you can find us.
Auckland Council website. For more information on services and attractions around Auckland, check out the Council website.
I heard a young boy on talkback last night asking why we called it the 10th "anniversary" of 9/11 as to him anniversary was a celebratory word and it felt wrong. He had a point but I can't think of how else to put it. We mourn the dead and the death of innocence that day, but at the same time we do celebrate something - the bravery of those who worked to save and rescue, and those who were left behind.
Ka kite.
