Join us in celebrating Towel Day this Saturday. Towel Day is an international day to celebrate the life and works of Douglas Adams, author of The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy series.
To join in the celebration come into the Library with your towel and receive a voucher for a free DVD, game or Hot Pick. Looking forward to seeing you and your towels on Saturday from 10am to 4pm. One voucher per person only. Vouchers can be picked up from the Adult's help desk.
Check out our very own video about the importance of having a towel.
Join millions of eBook readers around the world who, for two weeks only, will be reading one book - The four corners of the sky by Michael Malone. Use your library card to download the free eBook from OverDrive. Unlike other OverDrive eBooks, this book will be available to everyone who wants to read it between 15 May and 1 June. At the end of the period, the eBook will expire. Please click the graphic to access further information about the Big Library Read pilot, or click here to borrow the eBook with your Library card.
From 6 May, the Library will be closing at 7.00 pm in the evenings, and we will be open from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The times have been updated on the hours page, and you will see that Bluff, too, is now going to be open from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm on Saturday.
Yes, we are offering two items for the price of one on all multimedia materials. That means you can get out the TV series you have been meaning to watch, or organise a gaming session with your friends at half the usual price. The offer applies to all DVDs, CDs and electronic games, and continues until the end of May.
We are also hard at work organising a series of musical performances for the month of May, to be held in the Library foyer. Details have now been updated on our events calendar.

In November we launch a new service called MediaNet. It is a digital database where you can watch over 800 short films, features, documentaries, television commercials and more, which cover 110 years of New Zealand film history. It includes diverse content ranging from Crowded House, to Hairy McLary, to footage of soldiers departing for the Boer War.
In November we are releasing the Invercargill Kete into the world. Kete is a 'knowledge basket' in which we can begin to gather the history of our local area - in the form of photographs, text, images and video. The first example in our Kete is a selection of photographs of historical buildings in Invercargill. Come on over and have a look.
