War Memorial Library

To celebrate Schools' Pride week we have a selection of hand picked books for you to explore and read, each unique and interesting!!

🎉 It's on today!

Join us for an evening with Asher Emanuel, author of The Valley – Crime and Punishment in a New Zealand City, whose book is making waves around the country.

Asher will be joined by fellow author Brannavan Gnanalingam for a fascinating discussion about the stories behind the book, the lives and experiences it explores, and what it reveals about the realities of New Zealand's criminal justice system.
