WHAT’S ON @ Takapuna Library

Exhibition

Aotearoa Hand-Printed Books

Angela Morton Room

Te Pātaka Toi Library, Level 1, Takapuna Library – Until 31 May

We share beautiful text/image collaborations between artists, poets and printers with books featuring Max Gimblett, Hone Tuwhare, Marilynn Webb, Joanna Margaret Paul, and more. These pukapuka range from traditionally bound, to concertina books, to unfolding structures like Toni Hartill’s “Field Notes-Manawa” (pictured). These partnerships show new ways to create books, and new ways to experience reading them.

Join the Friends of the Library

Friends of the Takapuna Library are an enthusiastic group of library users who are keen to put something back into the library that has served them so well. The group’s goal is to promote reading as a worthwhile recreational activity by organising library related projects, meet the author events and social functions. They are known throughout New Zealand for assisting Takapuna Library with its innovative and enjoyable programme of events. Your membership entitles you too:

• Prior notification of events

• Invitations to meet the author events

• Buy author-signed books at discounted prices

• Meet other book lovers and attend exciting and stimulating talks
