The blog for you
This blog is an opportunity for LIANZA members of the region to get more involved with issues and events or report on what's happening in your library. For example:
If you have a blog of your own, give us the link to share.
If you want to provide photos of your library, your staff, or events, do so! It would be nice to see who and where you are.
If you want to raise an issue, email us or comment.
I'd like to see this blog continue past this experimental period and to do so we need your help!
In the meantime, upcoming events and issues will continue to be posted here so stay tuned.

LIANZA Council discussion papers
Hi all
Here are the links to these papers, one on LIANZA Governance, and one on LIANZA Institutional Membership
http://www.lianza.org.nz/library/files/store_022/LIANZA_Governance_Proposal.pdf
http://www.lianza.org.nz/library/files/store_022/LIANZA_Institutional_Membership_Proposal.pdf
Each of the papers has a series of questions for you to consider and to which you may wish to contribute feedback. We will be running a survey from the Monday 8th June to Tuesday 6th July using Survey Monkey and you will be sent the link to this survey on the 8th June.
In the meantime I am planning for a series of meetings in the Region to discuss these proposals, so keep an eye out for the notices about the dates of meetings in your area.
Once you have read the papers we would encourage you to attend your regional meeting for discussion and clarification of the proposals. We would appreciate any formal feedback you have on the proposals to be expressed using the survey to enable us to manage and analyse the responses.
Of course, feel free to comment here on the blog, or email to NZ-Libs listserv.
Kind regards
Heather

Library user charges - a call to action
If you are a resident of the Horowhenua District (or even if you aren't!) please take a look at this blog posting from Joann Ransom. Joann details the prohibitive user charges that library users in our district may end up facing if Council proposals in the LTCCP go ahead.
