Auckland City Library held a special celebration on Thursday for the renaming of the special collections holding area to the “Sir George Grey Special Collections”, in recognition of his life and achievements.

I was delighted to attend this event along with the Mayor, Councillor Goldsmith, and Ngati Whatua and join in the celebrations.

I met some of the great staff of the Auckland City Library who are dedicated to this work and it was a real honour to be a part of it.
