I read this and immediately thought of the Glen Eden, West Auckland librarians back in the day when I was a harried parent and the kids were small. The library was a thousand things and they were all gold. #kikorangi #librarians #WestAuckland

Happy May Day. As the best sign at today’s union protest on Lincoln Road said: Labour, protecting workers since 1916; National, undermining workers since 1936. The more things change, the more they stay the same. 🌹🌹💪❤️ #mayday #marangaake #union #westauckland
