Holiday in New Zealand

Apologies for not posting for the past month, I have been on a family holiday in the south island of New Zealand - a truly beautiful place.


We had a wonderful time in the south island relaxing and doing the usual tourist things. Milford Sound was wonderful, as was Dunedin, Christchurch and the so many beautiful glaciers, mountains, green fields and gardens (fabulous rhododendrons and roses). We also saw some large and small libraries (tragic to be a library tourist). Here are two small New Zealand libraries (about 3 metres by 3 metres) that we saw on our holiday—shows that libraries can come in all shapes and sizes and deliver valuable services to their users


1. Glenorchy library

2. Library on the Otago Penninsula
