Author Talk - We are excited to welcome Kate De Goldi to Procter Library on Thursday 9th July at 10am. Reading for pleasure has been declining in Aotearoa NZ, across all age groups but steeply amongst young people. The consequences of this decline are profound - for individuals, communities and our country's cultural and socio-economic prospects. The current Te Awhi Rito NZ Reading Ambassador Kate De Goldi will talk about these consequences, about reading's immense pleasures and benefits in a digital age and the activism needed to rebuild a nation of readers.
