Poll: Should Wellington's Central Library be given heritage status?
Wellington’s earthquake stricken central library could receive a category 1 heritage listing, despite being less than 30 years old.
Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is calling for the public submissions on the library’s heritage status, while Wellington City Council simultaneously considers the future of the building after it closed in March 2019 due to seismic concerns. Opened in 1991, the library, designed by Athfield Architects, was the centrepiece of Te Ngākau Civic Square.
Heritage New Zealand’s central region director Jamie Jacobs said heritage listing does not mean the building would be protected, and that decision would remain with the city council.

Do you ever regift?
What’s your take on asking for a receipt if a gift doesn’t fit?

Stamps wanted
I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
Any recommendations for a good gardener?
Hi Lovely neighbours,
Just wondering if anyone has a good gardener they would recommend? Lawn moving only at this stage.
Thanks
Yvonne
