Gisborne artists Rom Brown and Jack Straker bring together a collection of artworks based entirely in the realm of the imaginary. Carnivorous gnomes, sentient stones and smouldering cauldrons are just some of what will be discovered. Rom would like to acknowledge the support of the Creative Communities Scheme, Gisborne District.

It was a dark and stormy night when a group of 9-12 year-olds met in the library to form a book club especially for young people. Taking their cue from the weather, Lightning Readers was formed. The group meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the Children's area of the library. New members are welcome - just turn up and join in the fun. One of the bonuses of being in this group is that the Librarians let members see new library books before anyone else. That has got to be good!
