Hon JAN TINETTI (Minister of Internal Affairs): I'm pleased to report that as part of the Government's COVID-19 recovery package, $58.8 million was allocated to New Zealand's public library system to deliver jobs, support the role of librarians in our communities, and provide free Wi-Fi access in public libraries. So far, 161 librarians have already been employed out of the 198 jobs made available through this funding. This targeted funding has not only kept librarians in jobs, it has also upskilled them to provide extra assistance to job seekers and to people wanting to improve their reading and digital literacy skills.
