Oamaru Library Tour: Day 10
Oamaru Library Tour: Day 10: Library Assistant
Julia de Ruiter is pictured in front of her display in the children’s
area. Displays are the perfect way to showcase the treasures held in our
library collections. If a book on display catches your eye, it can
usually be taken out there and then. Pop into the library regularly to
see what great items Julia has hunted out from the children’s
collections!

Our public use computers are a great resource for the library. They allow students to print out homework materials, tourists to keep in touch with their families, provide access to government websites and much more. We are super lucky that the Waitaki Community can use these computers for free as they are provided by APNK ( Aoteroa People’s Network Kaharoa). APNK is part of National Library and works with local government staff at public libraries to bring a free broadband Internet service to communities around the country. Thanks @Peepsnetwork!
You can find out more about APNK here: http://www.aotearoapeoplesnetwork.org/content/about-us
