All library materials can be borrowed, including large
print books, talking books, DVDS and magazines.
We meet with all prospective members in their home to

at a mutually convenient time.
All staff and volunteers are police-checked.
You can nominate a family member, neighbour or
friend to deliver your items.

Accommodation Available – Picton

For anyone looking for accommodation in Picton, there are two self-contained one-bedroom apartments currently available at Waikawa Bay Holiday Park.

The units can be rented furnished, and there are already a number of older people living there, so the owners are looking for someone who will make it their home.

A bus to Blenheim runs three times a week, and the bus stop is just a short walk from the front gate.

Rent: $350 per week, plus power.

If you're interested or would like more information, please contact Felicity or Richard on 027 446 5432.
