Librarians’ Choice: Library Displays You may or may not already know that we have had a display of Fiction Librarians’ Choice books since we re-opened in March. It is located along the far side wall towards the end of the Fiction shelving alongside our Fiction genre displays.* Look out for the giant coloured spots on the wall over each collection. Recently we added a shelf of Librarians’ Choice Nonfiction books to our Nonfiction display area. Located on the right side of the Nonfiction collection, just past the Children's Desk.**
If you would like to see what sorts of Nonfiction books our librarians are reading and enjoying – have a look at this display. We have quite a diverse range of tastes for Nonfiction books amongst us, such as...
*Fiction Area
Van Cat Meow by Richard East A lost man. A rescued cat. A road trip like no other. People everywhere have fallen in love with Willow, the van cat, as she explores the wilds of Australia with Richard, her devoted owner. Now for the first time, Richard and Willow tell the true story behind the images that have captured our hearts.

NaNoWriMo Ever wanted to write your own novel? Have you been talking about writing your novel for years but lack the motivation to actually sit down and write it? Come and join Upper Hutt City Libraries in participating in NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an international event where people around the world pledge to write an individual word count goal over the month of November. Some people write a first draft of their novel, others journal all month long and some write short stories. Need a place with free Wi-Fi, computers available to use and peace and quiet to concentrate on your novel? We’ve got you covered! The Library has free computers, Wi-Fi available and quiet areas to sit, write and complete your word count. Join our Come Write In events in November and smash your word count! Sat 9, 16 & 23 Nov at 10am-12pm At the end of November, we will be having a... YES, You survived NaNoWriMo!!! Party. Sat 30 Nov, 2pm-3pm Join other participants to celebrate your achievement this November, share your experience during NaNoWriMo this year, curse the ill-timed writer’s block and eat some yummy snacks.
