We are very excited to have a local DOC Ranger as our special guest these holidays, speaking on the Tremendous Tuatara with craft making afterwards! They will be visiting Ōmokoroa Library on Wednesday 9 October at 10am - 1pm but their Te Puke Library visit has unfortunately been cancelled. In it's place, we will be screening a family movie!
Waihī Beach and Katikati libraries offer cool crafts and Tuatara videos to watch!
"Tuatara are a rare reptile found only in New Zealand. They are the last survivors of an order of reptiles that thrived in the age of the dinosaurs."
