Mahurangi East library has opened its doors once again, and they are in the process of organising some exciting community events and projects.

They are putting together a range of different environmental projects to help improve the local area, including project Blue Fish, placing 'drains are for rain' markers on storm water drains, and planting, which will be taking place this Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome to participate. Bring gloves and a drink bottl and meet at the Cornell Circle Bridge.

They are also taking suggestions for a beautify Goodall Reserve project, including the skate park facility, and are keen to hear from all users of the reserve. If you would like to be included in an early 'brainstorming' hui, please contact the library.

Old favourites will also be resuming, like Wriggle and Rhyme on July 2, and on July 3, 2020 Kids’ Club will be kicking off with a movie and snacks to celebrate the end of the school term.

On Saturday July 4 from 4:30 p.m. onwards, Mahurangi East library is inviting the community to help them celebrate the end of lockdown and the start of the Māori New Year, Matariki.

Special lighting will be installed at the Community Centre where it is being held, and staff are working hard behind the scenes to offer the community an authentic hangi and performance.

They are looking for volunteers to help out in various roles such as kitchen, after event clean up, and hangi helpers, so if you are available let them know.

They are also looking for some local talent to take to the stage, so if you're up for it, contact the library.
