An Evening With Sia Figiel
We're pleased to have internationally acclaimed Samoan writer Sia Figiel
at the library this week for a reading from her long awaited new novel Freelove followed by questions and book signing.
Figiel won the 1997 Commonwealth Writer’s Prize, Best First Book for the region for her ground breaking novel, 'Where We Once Belonged', a classic in Pacific Island literature which has been translated into German, French, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch. She has written three other novels, 'The Girl in The Moon Circle' (1996), 'They Who Do Not Grieve' (1998), and her latest 'Freelove' (2017), hot off the press and called “Powerful. Sagacious. Hypnotic. A Masterpiece!”

Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
