Ngā Tini Kōrero | Kēmu and Kōrero

Kēmu and Kōrero at New Lynn Library is more than just a weekly games session; it’s a joyful celebration of te reo Māori, connection, and community, facilitated by library kaimahi Kristin Joy. This film captures the warmth and laughter shared between taiohi from OakTec and local seniors as they come together to learn, play, and grow a special intergenerational connection.
