Protect Wanaka Library

The Issue

Did you know that our library staff are all being made redundant?

Instead they will be fighting for a limited amount of jobs to become 'customer service representatives' dealing in all manner of other council business.

Staff allocation for the library is being cut by 50%. Apparently this is going to have no impact on the library and will make it more 'efficient' but there are many locals who are worried that we will lose all those precious services our wonderful library staff provide like the preschool program, school holiday programs, Shelf Life magazine, and just being totally awesome at being able to give good advice on what book to read.

If you are concerned that all these changes are happening without public consultation, then please make your voice heard and sign this petition.
