Talofa lava, Malo le soifua,
Welcome to Samoan Language Week at Auckland Libraries. Samoan is the second most used language in Auckland and libraries around the city are celebrating it this week with events and activities. Don't be surprised if you are welcomed into the library with "Talofa" and a smile. There are also some great displays in different libraries around Auckland.
To find out what's on at a library near you visit the Libraries Samoan Language Week events page. Learn to count in Samoan at one of the storytimes (Tasi, lua, tolu, fa...). There are scavenger hunts, craft activities and more. Mangere East are hosting an Island Nite on Thursday.
A highlight of the week are the Author Talks by Lani Wendt-Young. Hear this prize-winning author speak about her published books and her life as a Samoan writer. Lani is based in Auckland.
Auckland Libraries holds many Samoan language resources for Aucklanders. With our extensive range of Pacific books, DVDs, picture books and junior readers, you definitely won’t be feeling left out of the Pacific buzz.
