Our heartfelt congratulations to Ruth Arnison

Fresh from the Keep Dunedin Beautiful Awards, Lilliput Libraries is celebrating a night of recognition and community pride. The initiative, which has sprinkled colourful little libraries across the city, came away with not one but two certificates and a trophy—a testament to the impact these humble book boxes have had on the local community.

Ruth says:

"Totally unexpected! What was really amazing was the compere asked audience members to raise their hands if they used LLs and 70% of audience hands were raised!! Reading is alive and well."

Lilliput Libraries continues to prove that small things can make a big difference.
