Labour Day

The seasons sure move fast in the Library! Monday is Labour Day and to celebrate the struggle for an eight-hour working day the Library will be closing for the day. However, for most Kiwis it signals the onset of summer and a trip to the beach. See you all on Tuesday!

Weeding in the Library

Spring is here and the weeding has begun! In consultation with academic staff we're busy withdrawing books from our collection which are rarely used or are no longer relevant to your curriculum needs.

Withdrawn books are available for you to take home from the trolleys on the ground floor. Get in quick to make your fortune selling these unwanted gems at Amazon Marketplace—The best book of WordStar is selling for 68 US cents!
