Welcome to the first issue of Te Rau Ora for 2025.

Library of this issue is the Whanganui heritage library, Te Rerenga mai o te Kāuru Alexander Library, which has clear tikanga and ethics to guide what they do.

LIANZA’s new executive director, Laura Marshall, introduces herself to you all in this latest issue of Te Rau Ora Library Life.  

We feature the National Library’s E oho! Waitangi series and we meet the 2024 Helen Zwartz scholarship recipients, Delwyn Pearce and Nerissa Cottle, as they talk about their highlights in Auckland with Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa.

Bernie Hawke and Louise LaHatte provide an update us on the fine-free campaign and we learn about the successful IATUL conference. There’s a lot more - take a look now. Articles for the June issue are due on May 1.
