Before online orders and ebooks, bookshops were places of familiar faces as well as favourite reads. This photo captures Paul's Book Arcade staff members Moira, Shirley, Colleen and Judy at a social gathering.
The patterned dresses and beehive hairstyle make this a great snapshot of period fashion.

🏏 Hamilton City Libraries are joining the 100 Years of Unity through Sport celebrations with cricket-themed lighting on the Central Library building as Hamilton prepares to welcome India.

The centenary recognises a sporting connection that began in 1926 and continues to bring people and communities together today. With two BLACKCAPS v India matches coming to Seddon Park in November, there's plenty to celebrate both on and off the field.

Look out for the lighting when you're in the city centre. ✨

In 1928, Hamilton became the star of its own movie.🎥
This photograph shows the cast of Hamilton's Hectic Husbands at the Hamilton railway station. Directed by New Zealand film pioneer Rudall Hayward, the silent comedy was filmed in Hamilton, Ngaaruawaahia, Hopuhopu and around the Waikato, with local residents taking the starring roles.

Promoted as Hamilton's first entirely local film, it premiered at the Theatre Royal in May 1928 to a packed audience.
