Visit the library and take a book like no other—a Living Book. How would you like to meet someone you may not normally meet? Learn about different peoples’ life experiences? Challenge some of your own assumptions? Highland Park Library presents Whiriwhiri Kōrero Woven Stories. Are you ready to ‘borrow’ a person for a reading experience you will not forget? This event is part of Auckland Libraries’ We Read Auckland. For more information: suneeta.narula@ aucklandcouncil.govt.nz, call: 09 377 0209.
