For computer projects, I always have printed in colour, but now that the printing prices at Manakau libraries have gone up to $1.50 (just for an A4 size colour print) ,my projects are now just black and white. If the colour printing went up to 70 cents to a dollar, I'd understand but $1.50 is just too dear for an A4 size.

I think it's great that libraries made Tumble books, I believe that if children don't want to sit down and read all day then they can have fun reading/listening to tumble book. I especially think it's great for little kids to listen to tumble books when their parents are a bit tired!!!

I think the summer reading challenge is ideal to get kids to read for fun throughout the holidays without their parents forcing them to,children can meet other kids reading and share books they like from age to age. The summer reading challenge also is great for creative kids,when they are a bit bored in the holidays. Though I am only 10 I have been through many Summer Reading challenges and all of them I have given a 10/10 I've meet many new people my age and discovered some great new books to devour too!

I hope we never have to pay for books as it would cost me thousands the amount of books I get from the library.

Hi everyone What do you think of the new Apple iPad, given that Apple is going to have it's own ebook and digital textbook store too?? Here's an interesting take on it from publishing perspective: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/apple-ipad-a-threat-to-publishers-bob-carr-20100129-n2zj.html I can see the day when we will be handing out iPads to people when they request ask for the Herald :) But having said that, although I am a Mac person, I am still a firm believer in the PAPERback and may it live long and prosper for years to come!
