Seeds of our Library: 150 years of engaging with the community
As we celebrate 150 years of libraries in Tauranga, we invite you to a special library-themed talk. How has the library changed over the years? How has it served the community? What are some of the challenges it’s faced along the way? These questions, and more, will be answered through an exploration of original material from the library’s archive.
