TOLO is going places

We are extremely pleased that the Ōmokoroa Community Board has approved our Expression of Interest to continue to occupy the Old Library Ōmokoroa (TOLO), initially for the next 24 months, with extensions subject to conditions, for a potential further two periods each of 24 months.

Whilst there are more steps in the process to formalise the arrangement, we can now begin to make firm plans for the rest of the year for exhibitions and displays demonstrating the wealth of creative ability in our community.

We are delighted that the Ōmokoroa History Group, Ōmokoroa Public Art Group and Ōmokoroa Environmental Managers Inc will partner with us on this endeavour. We also invite other individuals and groups to contact us to see how we help each other in our respective interests.

Our theme for May will be ‘Going Places’ - a global treasure hunt with clues in various forms to identify places we are unable to visit physically at present but may serve as a reminder, perhaps of places we have been, or plan to visit in the future. We hope you will come in and have a go at identifying the places and perhaps win a prize! Entry is free but donations are much appreciated.

If you are a member of a community group or an interested individual, please come and see us and tell us how we can help. In addition to the main gallery space, the open Reading Room can accommodate up to 30 and a more private meeting room which can accommodate up to ten people. Open hours are Tuesday-Sunday 10am – 4pm, and other times by arrangement.
