The Whakatāne Library has a special mystery offer for customers. From Monday, 13 February to Sunday, 26 February, customers can select a ‘mystery book package’ that contains a new release novel, plus a bonus book. New releases are normally $2 for a two-week loan period, but with the blind date, customers are treated to an extended loan period of three weeks — and an extra book — for the same cost.

“The best thing about this deal is that you won’t know what delightful surprise awaits you,” says Kirsty O’Neill of the Whakatāne Horizon Energy Library. “If you haven’t joined the library yet, this is your opportunity. It’s free to join, and you get a range of advantages, such as free e-books, awesome information databases and online access to your library account. All that is required are two forms of ID, a photo ID and something official that shows your current address.”

This mystery book offer is available only at the Whakatāne Horizon Energy Library at Te Kōputu a te whanga a Toi. Phone 07 306 0509, or email library@whakatane.govt.nz for more information.
