Kia ora Ponsonby. ...
Sadly, Easter is done rather early this year. Leys team members have done our best to consume our weight in hot cross buns and sample all we could from the many delicious bakeries and cafés in our fab foodie area (we do admit to going further afield for a few).
After all our sweet treats, it is time to head into April and the school holiday with action. Luckily, we have plenty coming up at the library this month.
School holidays:
Wednesday 17 April 10am – 11:30am: We Love Pokémon!
Calling all Pokémon lovers. Come along and take part in various Pokémon-themed activities. All you need is your Pokédex.
Wednesday 24 April 10am – 11:30am: Minion Madness
In anticipation of the new cinematic addition to the Minionverse, Leys is celebrating with a Minion-themed morning of robotics, a scavenger hunt and more.
There are also plenty of other school holiday events happening at Grey Lynn, Parnell and Central. You can collect a booklet at the library to find out more, or have a look on OurAuckland.
This April, Waitematā libraries have also teamed up to expand our digital accessibility and education targeted at (but not exclusively for) our older community, including one-off talks, activities and digital device trainings.
These events are free, all you need to do is pop in to Leys, Grey Lynn, or Parnell Library and have a chat with our librarians to book and/or find out more.
At Leys Institute Little Library, we are offering one-on-one drop-in sessions with our librarians for anyone with questions about their phone, tablet, laptop or our range of free online library services.
No booking required, just bring your fully charged device. Come along on Thursday 4 April, 9am – 12 noon or Tuesday 9 April, 9am – 12 noon.
On Thursday 2 May at 6:30pm, we are delighted to have award-winning author, journalist and educator Graham Reid at Leys to talk about ‘The Perils and Pleasures of Being a Reviewer’. Join us for what is sure to be an entertaining evening of stories where an informed opinion may not have always been appreciated.
Please also note that we, like all Auckland libraries, are closed on Thursday 25 April for ANZAC Day, but will resume normal hours at 9am the following day (Friday).
Monday – Friday 9am – 6pm, Saturday 9am – 4pm, Sunday closed.
