          <dc:description><![CDATA[Celebrate Chinese New Year at Manukau Libraries
Manukau Libraries have organised a variety of colourful entertainment to celebrate the Chinese New Year &ndash; the Year of the Tiger during February.&nbsp;
&nbsp;Taoist meditation, lion dancing, Chinese knotting, cooking demonstrations, calligraphy, tea testing and Chinese-themed story time are just some of the activities visitors can enjoy at a number of Manukau Libraries.
&nbsp;Jiannan Wang, Manukau Libraries outreach coordinator community cultures says, &ldquo;The event provides a wonderful opportunity for the city&rsquo;s Chinese community to share their vibrant culture with other Manukau residents.&nbsp;
&nbsp;&ldquo;It is also a great chance for our staff to promote our growing Chinese book collection,&rdquo; says Ms Wang.
&nbsp;Manukau Libraries have more than 20,000 Chinese books and magazines with 4,000 added each year.&nbsp; The books are very popular with 215,000 borrowed annually.&nbsp;
&nbsp;Chinese collections are available at Howick, Highland Park, Pakuranga, Botany, City Centre and Papatoetoe Libraries.
&nbsp;Ms Wang invites all Manukau residents to join in the week-long Chinese New Year celebrations. She guarantees a distinctive Chinese cultural experience for all the family to enjoy with new events for 2010.
&nbsp;Best of all it&rsquo;s free.
