The beginning of May often feels like quite a shock, the cooler weather has set in and we are almost halfway through the year. It is a month where we become more acquainted with our umbrellas and start to set aside our sunglasses.
May also brings Mother’s Day and the beginning of the second term for schools.
For our Waitematā libraries we are hoping May will bring the restart of our regular programmes. Here at Leys Institute Little Library that means we are planning to return to the Ponsonby Baptist Church Hall (corner of Jervois Road and Seymour Street) for Wriggle and Rhyme.
All going to plan, we will be there on Wednesday 4 May at 10am and 11am with music and bubbles; there’s a chance we even remember a few rhymes too. The team are very much looking forward to seeing you and your little people and meeting some new little people and their grown ups too.
Film Club will be making a return to the Grey Lynn Library Hall with the first screening being on Friday 20 May at 3pm; this season’s theme is black comedy. For further details about film club, pop into Grey Lynn or Leys Institute Little Library.
Book Chat are very excited to be meeting in person rather than via zoom. They held their first meeting, kanohi ki te kanohi, at the Ponsonby Community Centre in April. It was great to see everyone getting together and connecting in person even if it was still socially distanced.
While we are excited to see you at our programmes and events, facemasks are required for all attendees 12 years and over - just like for a regular library visit. As always check our Facebook page – Leys Institute Little Library for up-to-date information about our programmes and events.
Book Chat Recommends:
