Welcoming Week: share a book, share your story

Welcoming Week is an international celebration of communities coming together to create places where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and included. By sharing a book that is meaningful to you, you're helping us celebrate the diverse stories, experiences, and cultures that make our community unique.

Join Our Welcoming Week Book Display

Share a favourite book with the Rotorua Library community!

Welcoming Week celebrates communities that are inclusive, connected, and welcoming for all. By recommending a book you love, you can introduce others to new ideas, perspectives, and stories while creating meaningful connections through reading. Sharing a personal favourite and telling us why it matters to you is a simple way to celebrate diversity, encourage understanding, and help foster a more inclusive community.

Help us build a display that celebrates the diversity of our community and inspires connection, understanding, and belonging, one book recommendation at a time.

Submissions must be in by September 3rd to ensure inclusion in the display.
