Takapuna Methodist Church's community 'Little Library' opens

Another fantastic local community initiative was opened by Simon Watts MP and blessed by Rev Peter Norman on Tuesday 17th August. Takapuna Methodist Church's vision is to help create and nurture compassionate, creative and connected communities and their new 'Little Library' is a very welcome addition to the community. Their message is "Take a book as you pass by, once you’ve read it pass it on or return it. Children’s books too. Help yourself." A wonderful service to the local community – thanks and recognition to Ruby and Cathy at Takapuna Methodist Church, the Men's Shed in Bayview, Glenfield (represented by David Whiling) for building the Little Library, and to artist, Jenny Firth for the beautiful illustrations. Enjoy!
