We're celebrating NZ Music Month and Matariki this issue with a pop quiz, as well as music at the Nook & Cranny Music Festival 7.0, and at gigs throughout the month of May.

With Mother's Day Author Talks, new exhibitions, and a whole lot of music, everyone can find something fun at their local library!
