Environment, Happenings, Sam, Science!
Have yourself a whale of a time, all expenses paid…
Get yourself down to Te Papa and tohora for free! No, tohora is not really a verb but the Maori word for whale. Wellington City Council is paying for residents of Wellington to see ‘Whale: Tohora’, an exciting cetacean exhibition at Te Papa. This one day offer is only available May 8, 10.00am – 9.00pm. You will need to prove that you live in Wellington, so dive into your wallets and make sure you have your library card handy (Of course you do! You use it all the time to access our amazing services) before heading out.

The Japanese government is offering a chance to travel all expenses paid to Okinawa, Japan and study the natural environment of the place with 75 other young people from around the Asia-Pacific region. They’re looking for applications from anyone interested – Arigatou gozaimasu!
