Auckland libraries has now started promoting our 3rd book launch for the play "Maui and Sina" on their website. I think one of the exciting things is that the library manager is encouraging to have students from local high schools to attend and ask Qs and be aware of different opportunities from a local educators perspective.
Here's the link below if you happen to be in the area and would like to attend as it's our first public book launch and for me it's a little daunting but am also happily humbled by it all as I think it's about promoting local communities' stories and endeavours.
It also looks like we may be having two sessions: with one in the morning at 11.30 am and then again at 1.30 pm to cater for the interest that has been shown thus far. So if you do want to bring along a group, or a group of students, please contact Sonia Munro, Manager for the Mangere Town Centre library to ensure that they are able to cater for your group etc.

Pacific author and educator, Helen Tau'au Filisi, will be launching her first play, Maui and Sina.
This play draws upon well-know Maori and Pasifika mythological figures and explores the epic journey the Siakisone family take with their children to a new land and the various challenges they face adapting to new social values and religious ideas.
Come and meet the author, learn about the creative writing process and publishing, and the opportunities that exist in this line of work.
