Holiday Activities

These school holidays Karori Library will be hosting a special visit from children's author Kevin Boon who will be reading aloud, talking about his books and about being an author. This will be held on Friday 8th October at 11am. All welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.

Living Well Series

Karori Library hosted three interesting talks this July about technology, gardening and antiques, as part of the Living Well series. Thank you to everyone who attended and especially to those who came and spoke.

Storytime

• Pre-school Storytime is held at Karori Library every week day at 10:30am in the children's area.
• Sessions run for about half an hour, with stories and songs.
• Storytimes are fun and free - there is no charge, and you do not have to book.
• Storytime sessions are aimed at pre-school children (three and four years old) - but younger siblings are always welcome!

Come along - we'd love to see you there!
