Māpuna Library has done some awesome displays so far this year. This week we’ve been celebrating Samoan Language Week for 2021! With a combination of our non-fiction titles about Samoa, its culture and language and other Pasifika cultures, and fiction titles written by Samoan authors. As well as displaying some Samoan greetings.
