The things that the library always offers are Books, DVDs, CDs, Audio books, e' books and a database where you come in and you can study either using books or the internet. The books are split up into kids picture books, Kids chapter books, teenage books and adult books. The DVDs that they have can be movies from now and back till the olden days and are mixed ratings. The same thing with the CDs, audio books and e' books.
There are also classes about different things that you can attend. There is about 10-15 classes a week that you can take. The most popular classes are computer classes and homework classes. With the computer classes they take anyone at any age. If you are needing homework tutors that is also available to kids.
If you are into Genealogy they can help you out with family history. On the computers they can find were someone was buried and who their family is. They might even have some books about them.
The library does monthly book clubs. There is a book club for adults and for teenages. The clubs are only held once a month and is in Tauranga Library and Papamoa Library.
In the school holidays they do activities were they take groups out one day do go do an activities. There are lots of things they do, weather is swimming to climbing Mount Maunganui.
Only in the summer holidays there is the teen mean read, were a group of teenages get together and read books in the library.
Also in the summer they do a children's mean read. It is a little different to the teens one. The kids get there own folder and each time the kids read a book they come into the library and one of the librarians ask them questions about the book. each time you come and get a book checked off you get a prize. I remember my first prize, I got a library mug! There is computers that you can go on for a minimum amount of money for 1 hour. Weekly toddler time is when parents can bring there child in weekly and the can do toddler time. They have different activates each day.
If you book online you can get sessions with your classroom to come to the library and do some activities and read books. Or the library can come to your class.

I really enjoyed reading your post and finding about all the services the library offers. I had no idea the library offered such a variety of services. I would love to see the library mug. Do you think you could take a photo of it and add it to this post? I would love you to share this post with the class so that they can hear about all the amazing services the library offers. Jessica you need to work on homonyms - there are quite a few errors where you have used the incorrect spelling of the word e.g. there, their and they're. Your capital letters are all correct though : )
