Little Library outside of Meadowbank Train Station
Kia Ora neighbors,
A miniature library has opened in Meadowbank for locals to freely pick up and exchange books.
Since its opening in late May, over 253 books have been collected.
The founders said they created the library because they saw many of these little libraries throughout the USA, and exchanged novels as they traveled over the years.
They said the feedback they have personally received has been outstanding from individuals, parents with kids, and business people going home from work.

Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
