Seaweek At the Libraries

The theme this year is Connecting With Our Seas, Toi Moana, Toi Tangata.
Seaweek is New Zealand’s annual national week about the sea. Hosted by the NZ Association for Environmental Education (NZAEE), Seaweek focuses on learning from the sea. It’s about exciting and inspiring all New Zealanders to renew their connections with the sea!
