Hope you're more comfortable soon. I.... I hesitate to share with you @adamshand's frighteningly accurate Wellington weather calendar, which really should be part of any new residents' welcome packs...

Listening to the fabulous Kate DeGoldi taking about the importance of reading - describing it as as a “balm and a lullaby” how beautiful is that? ⁦@NLNZ⁩ ⁦@NZSAuthorsWgtn

This will be excellent and well worth signing up for - of course I might be a little biased
Excited to see this collaboration with @lianzaoffice come to fruition this week - information about #legaldeposit, tailored especially to librarians. Inspired by all the librarians who go above & beyond to find answers for questions that people in their community bring to them!
