DORA joins the libraries van in Sumner

Today DORA parked up alongside the Christchurch City Council library van, in Sumner, to compliment their  service. Our new volunteer, Gregg Scaife, was onboard to help with email and other enquiries. Just showing one lady how to zoom in was enough to make her day! (Ctrl+) Next week we will have our new volunteer driver helping out as well. Go Team DORA!

DORA to compliment Chch Library Van

Team DORA is expanding as we recruit volunteers to drive and tutor on board. This will enable DORA to be more accessible to communities.
DORA is about to trial parking up alongside the new Christchurch City Library Vans, to compliment this book service to communities. The library vans have a very busy schedule visiting suburbs that no longer have access to a  library as a result of the earthquakes.
