Welcome to Kete Tararua
Kete Tararua is an online digital repository of media generated and uploaded by our community. Here you will find stories, photos, videos and audio of the land and people of Tararua. Our aim is to bring these stories together so that we can share with each other, Aotearoa New Zealand and the world.
The Tararua region stretches from the ridges of the Ruahine and Tararua ranges, to the shores of the Pacific. Tararua encompasses the townships of Norsewood, Dannevirke, Woodville, Pahiatua, Eketahuna, Ballance and Pongaroa as well as the coastal areas of Akitio and Herbertville.
Discover a relaxed lifestyle conveniently close to main centres. Great fishing, eco-tourism and adventure opportunities. Visit the world famous National Wildlife Centre at Mount Bruce; view the majestic turbines of Tararua Wind Power and Te Apiti; experience the tranquillity of a walk through stunning native forests.
The Kete is brought to you by the Tararua District Library, with the support of the National Library of New Zealand and the Aotearoa Peoples Network Kaharoa and utilises open source software first developed by Katipo Communications and the Horowhenua Library Trust.
Everybody with media or stories about Tararua is welcome to freely contribute to the Kete by registering. If you have any questions, or want advice as to how to contribute, please do not hesitate to contact us via the Tararua District Library Service.

About Our Libraries
Pahiatua Library built by the Jaques Bros in 1963. This building housed both Borough Council Chambers and Library and is situated on the corner of Kiwi and Main Streets. The previous librarians who worked in this building were Mrs Kath Beech, Miss Nancy Barnes, Mrs Pam Parkes with the assistance of Mrs Elaine Perry, Toni Higginson, and Wyn Davidson. Mrs Parkes became librarian in 1992 and on her retirement, Wyn Davidson was appointed to this position, assisted by Mrs Diane Chapman and Mrs Margaret Allardice, (since retired). The library has seen many changes
Welcome to the Tararua District Library Kete Basket.
Whilst the Kete is administered mainly from the offices of the Tararua District Library, this basket is where you will find content, and media that is generated or held by the Tararua District Library.
Welcome to Your New Kete Site
Kete is a knowledge basket of topics, images, audio, video, web links, documents, and discussion which are collected and catalogued by the site's community.
This is a good time to further customise it to suit your needs. Kete has lots of options which may seem daunting when you get started. Don't worry, you can customise a little or a lot. You can also easily change things later. Feel free to change your Kete incrementally.
Edit Included "About" and "Help" to Suit Your New Site
