Palmerston North City Library has several locations around town (and in Ashhurst too!) Do you know where they all are? Grab a copy of the Read Your Way Around Town brochure, or print it out from the file below, and get a stamp for each location you visit!
Colour in a feather to reflect your experience of Our Library or your reflections on the past year or hopes for the upcoming year! We have a feather template below you can download and print.
Drop them in to any Palmerston North City Library, send via email, Facebook Messenger, post, or just come and colour them in here at Te Pātikitiki.
Whaea Ruth will whatu (weave) your creations into our Kakahu that has our Pātikitiki as the Taaniko pattern.
This is an ongoing project and we hope to reach everyone who has grown up here, had their heart touched or their needs met. Please spread the word and the template.
There will be spot prizes for the feather that has come from the furthest distance, the one with the most moving message and the one with the most spectacular colours.
From Whaea Ruth and the team at Te Pātikitiki

Thanks to the Awapuni Library for this review on The Dinosaur that Pooped a Rainbow by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter.
Danny sees a rainbow,
Dino sees it too!
So many pretty colours,
They can name them all, can you?
When Danny and his friend Dino see a beautiful rainbow in the sky, they name each of the colours they can see. When they finish they realise that there is one important colour missing. Only Dino the Dinosaur can help correct it!!
A great book about colours for young children with lovely illustrations and part of The Dinosaur That Pooped series.
