Apparently the Government likes libraries too. The National Library is getting a $69 million makeover in the next few years. This was announced today by Helen Clark and various digerati along with library and archive mavens.

The new designs do look very spunky from the outside – it would not be hard to be a vast improvement on the current building, prominently placed in the “Parliamentary Precinct”.

People listened attentively as the plans were outlined, as promises were made to take good care of our national treasures. NZ On Screen will be working with the National Library to some degree, we look forward to meetings in shiny new offices with natural light and flow!
