Once upon a time the part of the Rotorua Public Library
 on the first floor was called the Don Stafford Room.
Starting in November 2008 it slowly disappeared
 until at the end of January 2009 there was very little left.

Then on February 2nd it all reappeared on the second floor
 including a lot of resources that were formerly invisible
 in back rooms.

The whole second floor area is now called New Zealand Services
 and the Don Stafford Room is a research room
 holding our permanent collection.

Come up and have a look.

New Zealand Services includes:

• Pasifika - New collection bringing together all the adult non fiction about the Pacific region
