Library Time for Tamariki
08 May 2019
The local community plays a starring role in the learning programme at Learning Adventures Mangere East, and recently our tamariki got out and about with a trip to the library.
“The children had lots of fun discovering for themselves what a library has to offer,” says centre manager Virginia Eruera.
