Monkey Hill library
Some vandal has knocked the little library cabinet off its mountings and it is slowly deteriorating. This is a much used and loved (by me anyway) resource but I do not have the basic carpentary skills to repair it. It was funded by he Albert-Eden Community Board and constructed by "The Shed" . Is there someone I could contact to get it repaired before it is smashed completely.

Consumer NZ have revealed their latest annual energy survey, and found that 11% of consumers have had to cut back on their heating, and 20% of people have been struggling to pay their power bill in the past year.
