Library Love Haiku Competition

Entries close 30 August

Celebrate your library in just 17 syllables!

We're inviting library lovers of all ages to enter our Haiku Competition. Capture what makes the library special to you — whether it's the joy of reading , lifelong learning , community connection , or your favourite library moment. Let your creativity shine and tell us what the library means to you in a traditional three-line haiku for your chance to win a $50 book voucher!

Can’t make it into the library to pick up a postcard? Email us at library@dcc.govt.nz with haiku as the subject.

At all Dunedin Public Libraries:
Blueskin Bay Library, Dunedin City Library, Mosgiel Library, Port Chalmers Library, South Dunedin Community Library, Waikouaiti Library, & Bookbuses.
