WCL has over 600,000 books, 450,000 magazines, and 85,000 cds, DVDs, videos and other items at our central library and 11 branches. We are located in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington.
Our new contemporary fiction this month isn't the lightest - novels are set during Nigeria's vicious civil war, feature child soldiers of the Ivory Coast and employees of the Danish Centre for Genocide Studies. Family are lost in a ferry accident, the bones of a young girl are found buried in the cellar of a Catholic church in Omaha, Nebraska, and a therapist experiences anger, grief, boredom, frustration, and resentment. Not to read when in a delicate mood.
