Celebrating People in our Neighbourhood!
Each year 21 March is observed around the globe as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Wellington City Libraries is a proud participant of the Diversity in Action Programme and have run events around making clay Earth People every year since 2005.
This year we are very excited that Wellington region public libraries, as well as Waitakere and Hastings, have joined us. Come back often to see photos and comments on this page from these events celebrating our community!
