The Wellington Pride Festival runs from March 4th-18th! Here's some of the ways we're celebrating Pride at Wellington City Libraries.
Karori Rainbow Youth Night
Saturday, 11 March | 5 – 8pm
Karori Library
Join us at the library to celebrate Wellington Pride with some only-slightly-more-than-usual rainbow-themed Youth Nights! We’ll be open after-hours for rainbow and takatāpui youth (and friends!) to socialise, have fun, and chat to a librarian about your favourite queer literature. As usual, there will be pizza, gaming, movies, crafts, and quiet spaces to chill out.
Youth Movie Night for Pride!
Thursday, 16 March | 5:45 – 7:45pm
Te Awe Library
Come along to Te Awe to watch a queer-themed movie and hang out with other like minded teens! For teens aged 14+. The movie will start at 5:45pm and will be shown in our event space on the ground floor.
Please note: The film being screened will have an M rating (suitable for mature audiences).
Pōneke Poets: Open Mic (Out in the City)
Saturday, 18 March | 1 – 2pm
Harbourview Lounge, Michael Fowler Centre (part of Out in the City)
Poets of all background and experience levels are invited to contribute to the vibrant and dynamic queer poetry scene, in ‘Pōneke poets: open mic’. Wellington City Libraries encourages all LGBTQIA+ poets and allies to join in sharing oral histories, personal stories and creative voices in an open-mic poetry hour.
