The Kaipara Flats Library will host a celebration to mark 140 years of service to the community next month.
The Kaipara Flats Library Pioneer Day will be held on March 25, from 2pm to around 5pm.
The day will begin with a welcome from library chair Alice Sullivan followed by bagpipes and period music.
From 3pm onwards, there will be activities, a quick-fire raffle, library viewing and afternoon tea.
The celebration cake will be cut at 4.30pm followed by a prizegiving for art and poetry competitions.
Library publicity person Judith McNeil says the day is about promoting the library.
“We’ve had open days before, but this will be the biggest event hosted at the library in a long time.”
The library has more than 4000 books and 77 members, a record in its history.
“Because of ebooks and online material, we’ve seen a drop in the number of books borrowed, but membership has grown because people value the library as an asset in our community.”
To help out on the day, contact Judith on 021 0870 0956.
