Make a gift at the library this festive season!

Jess Payne from Wellington City Libraries and Community Spaces

Every Tuesday and Thursday in December between 4-7 pm, come along to our festive crafts station on the 1st floor of the Central Library and get creative!

Make your own hand-made gift card, a special book mark, or perhaps a little decoration for your tree! Have something you’ve always wanted to make into something? Bring your own materials or make use of what’s available on our crafty supplies trolley! There will be local crafting experts on hand and a tonne of ideas and craft books ready to help you get inspired!

Drop by for 5 Minutes, half an hour, or hang out for the full 3 hours! Have fun to your own schedule at our festive crafts station and and give a gift of creativity this year!

These sessions will be held on the 1st floor of the Central Library by the enquiries desk from 4-7 pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays with the last session being held on December 20th.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael
