Upper Hutt Libraries

Writers, poets, and poets-to-be! This one's for you. 👋

Our annual Poetry Competition for tamariki (kids), rangatahi (teens), and adults is in full swing and open for entries. We're inviting you to go on an adventure and explore the wild, wonderful world of words with this year's theme: "Wilderness" ✨

Feeling stuck inside during the winter school holidays? Get the whole family dreaming, writing, and adventuring. We can't wait to read your entries!

📣 Heads-up for this coming Monday 13 July!

Due to a planned power outage, Pinehaven Library will open slightly later than usual, at 1.30pm. We hope to see you there in the afternoon – and if you're looking for something fun to do in the holidays, don't forget that we have a bunch of events happening at our cute little Pinehaven branch. 😊
