We were very excited to have a visit from John Hornblow, deputy mayor of Palmerston North, Missoula's sister city in New Zealand. John squeezed in a visit to the library in his busy schedule this afternoon to deliver a selection of books about New Zealand and by New Zealand writers.
John and his fellow travelers are in the midst of a cultural exchange co-organized by the Missoula Cultural Council, which hosted New Zealand Days this week. What a wonderful way to make friends with people we wouldn't otherwise meet!
We took John's visit as an opportunity to show off our library, and discovered not only do our cities have commonalities, but our libraries do, too. Visit the Palmerston North City Library online and see what we mean. This is one librarian who would love to visit some day!
John presents the gift books he brought from New Zealand.
