Did you know that there are two writing events open to Manukau residents that are currently happening in Manukau?
The first one is the Bernard Gadd Poetry Competition this closes on Friday 10th July 2009 at 4pm. Competiton details can be found here and the entry form here.
The second writing event is the very popular Write around Manukau workshops that Manukau Libraries is hosting for aspiring writers. If you are interested you need to book your workshop seat ASAP - these workshops fill very quickly.
Even if you are not a writer or poet these are great opportunities that you will definitely want to pass on to someone who is.

Make over time should be finished just in time for this Saturday
Greetings all,
Yes makeover time is nearly completed here at Manurewa, as you can see in the photo we are already using the new desk and returns room.
Quick Reminder: We meet in our Community Room this Saturday 27th June at 11am to discuss the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
Personally I enjoyed reading the Curious Incident. The book certainly made me think about the way I perceive things and I am very keen to hear what everyone else thought this Saturday.
I have deliberately kept away from looking at the reviews online so as not to be influenced before our discussion - it was hard to do this as I know from chatting with people there is a heap of online reviews for the book, and apparently the book is studied at NCEA level.
wishing everyone the best of health

Spot the changes & dodge the obstacles
Phew, don't the weeks fly by when we are having fun...We have been kept busy with the renovations here at Manurewa. Shifting boxes to the community room, catching up with the backlog from our closure on Saturday 6th June (by the way I did mean to post that we would be closed then - hopefully none of you popped in but if you did a thousand apologies as my uncle used to say).
Then to top it off we shifted the fiction around...as one of the regulars was heard to say this is what happens when you let women be in charge they just love to keep changing the furniture around!
I have to say people have been really good about all the noise and location changes, which has been great for us but the count down is on for Friday's completion date.
The added bonus for us at SBC is that the library will be getting a new lounge area and if it is as good as it is supposed to be I am thinking it might be nice enough for our meeting place, but this is a decision for our next meeting.
