During the school holidays Tawa library had a visit from a very ancient creature. Spike the tuatara came to visit the library and all the children and even the parents were lucky enough to touch this amazing animal.
Sue Keall from Victoria University did a wonderful talk on the the life cycle of the tuatara and talked about how we can help save this incredible animal. She then brought Spike out of his box and took him around so everyone could see him up close and touch his very soft skin. Spike was a champion – although he did get a bit wiggly at times. We loved having him visit.
