@ LEYS LITTLE LIBRARY, PONSONBY

Kia ora Ponsonby, we have so many exciting events happening this month.

Most of them are centered around Matariki, which is on Friday, 14 July. This is a public holiday, so please note we will be closed that day, but will be open from 9am on Saturday as usual.

School holidays are on now. This is not a drill. We have heaps of children’s books, activities, and events on, so feel free to stop by and join in. We have flyers in the library listing all the events happening in the Waitematā area, but here is a glimpse into what is available for kids:
