Auckland Mobile Libraries Pop-Up Library at Remuera Friendship Centre!

We had a wonderful visit from Alola, who brought the magic of the local library right to our members! She shared a fantastic selection of books available to borrow and gave us the inside scoop on upcoming events happening at the library. From book clubs to tech help sessions, there’s something for everyone!

These visits are all about community connection—bringing people together, sharing stories, and opening doors to new opportunities.

On Winnie the Pooh Day we can’t help but agree with our furry friend’s wise sentiment: “A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.” Communicare’s friendship centres will reopen in two weeks’ time and we’re so looking forward to reconnecting with old friends once again.

Still hot? Still hard to think of winter woollies and warm slippers? Well let’s not go cold on the idea – Communicare has got a pearl (purl?) of a plan. Prepare to call together all your foot soldiers (or as we in the real world call them, colleagues or workmates) and let them know Communicare will be giving permission for you all to Wear Your Slippers to Workfor a Day.

Sure it’s hot – it is the height of summer after all. But here at Communicare we’re all about planning ahead. Well, planning is afoot actually! Think Autumn, think Winter even … what are you going to need to keep you warm and toasty then? Yes, slippers! Keep that thought in mind and we’ll keep you one step ahead with our planning in the weeks to come …

In colder climes this time of the year is celebrated by wearing Ugly Christmas Sweaters. In a New Zealand summer you would definitely be a ‘sweater’ if you tried this - and it certainly wouldn’t be pretty!

At Communicare we’ve opted for Silly Season Hats. Much more sensible don’t you think?

Just a quick reminder that our centres are now closed for 2020. We will be reopening in the first week of February 2021. Meantime we’ll keep in touch right here and let you follow all the Communicare news throughout the festive season.
