We are excited to feature Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand’s Library and Knowledge Service. It has been a transitional period for these services, which have now been unified into a national library service.

New things are happening! Waimakiriri Libraries share their experience with their digi-coach pilot, and we present the new LIANZA CPD Pathway. Siobhan Smith reviews the new IFLA book on AI in Libraries, and we explore the impressive new archives building, Te Rua.

We see how Books Alive events have evolved into large-scale, immersive experiences that bring hundreds of students into contact with finalist authors and illustrators in the weeks leading up to the annual New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults ceremony. There’s a whole lot more, including our regular columns.
