The country's librarians are about to meet to discuss how libraries have moved with the times, but why there's a lot more moving to do. Their association LIANZA has organised a three-day conference with some international guests beaming in their keynote addresses. But there are local presenters too anxious to start up conversations amongst their peers. Lynn Freeman talks to two of them. Maretha Smit Is the CEO of Diversity Works NZ, the national body for workplace diversity and inclusion. She is challenging libraries to reimagine their role and to help marginalised communities. Reid Perkins from Upper Hutt City Libraries will be talking about its efforts to archive the community's pandemic experiences through photographs and zoomed oral histories.
