Saturday

Welcome


Join us for our annual series of readings, co-sponsored by the School of English and Media Studies, Palmerston North City Library, and Office of the Campus Registrar, Wellington, and held at three venues — the Palmerston North City Library, and on the Albany and Wellington Massey campuses.

Over the past few years, we've featured some of New Zealand’s best writers, include Bill Manhire, Elizabeth Knox, Owen Marshall, Fiona Farrell, C. K. Stead, Ian Wedde, and Vincent O’Sullivan.

All Albany readings (unless otherwise noted) are held at lunchtime in the Theatre Lab:
