Our Digital Resource Staff Pick comes from Carol, our Pou Whakahaere. She recommends the audiobook version of A List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey.
"Listening on the bus; I would let out gasps as the story progressed. Also, a few tears were shed. Definitely worth a listen."
Sounds like a glowing review. This and other audiobooks can be found on our Libby app, which can be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore.

📸Before the roads, homes and busy neighbourhood we know today, Wainuiomata offered a very different view. This photo from 1930 shows trampers on the Wainuiomata Hill, looking down towards Wainuiomata Road. ⛰️

Can you recognise any part of the landscape?
