Friends of the Turangi Library
Since July 1st 2009 the Friends of the Turangi Library activities have included a new TV to be installed in the children’s section, a guest speaker from the Department of Conservation highlighting features of Motutaiko Island and Trevor Hoskings a retired archaeologist describing some interesting features of his work. The Friends also presented an art work by Carne Stephenson which brightens up the newspaper section of the Library.
