Look what turned up in the mail

Two postcards all the way from the Netherlands, from Alex and Sander. One shows the Turfsingel canal in Gouda around 1900, and the building on the right was the family home of Sander’s family back then. The other is a very handsome cat keeping watch from the windowsill

They wrote to say libraries are such an important part of any community, and thanked us for being there for people in a way that often gets overlooked. That one made our day.

Alex and Sander are planning to visit Dunedin next year. We’d love to say hello in person when you’re here!

Kā mihi nui from all of us at Kā Kete Wānaka o Ōtepoti
