Many thanks

I think you used more words here than I did in my post but thanks for spreading our great news - to contextualise for the international audience, Local Government in NZ is undergoing reform and while libraries are standard they haven't been defined as required services until now.

Given that the reform was of the "focus on core services alone" nature this change was great news.
