Diwali and more winners….

As Sue Kini pointed out, this was a really unfair quiz. You really had to be “in the know” as Dianne Langitan from Te Atatu Peninsula Library clearly was:

“It is a beautiful creation made of recycled Skinny Jump box. It’s a model of Ram Mandir or Rama Temple in Uttar Pradesh India. Down the centre of the temple you can spot a small image of god Rama. It’s located at Waitakere Central Library Henderson, created by one of the librarians, Dipali.“

Dipali Kaduskar is the Jump coordinator at Waitakere Library and according to Dianne, this is not her first creation. Fortunately, Dipali and the team at Waitakere Central still find time to sign up Jump customers – 175 so far this year.

But Louise Gribbon from Tasman District Libraries had the most creative response:

“Kia ora, this looks like a Diwali display to me. In my community, some of the people who celebrate Diwali are recent migrants, and ‘Refugees and migrant communities’ are one of the groups eligible for Skinny Jump. Diwali is also associated with lights and ‘dispelling the darkness of ignorance and welcoming the light of knowledge and wisdom’. Skinny Jump helps to reduce digital exclusion, i.e. brings the light, knowledge, and new (IT) skills to those in need.“

Thanks Dipali, for sharing your creation with us, and for shining a new light on Jump (in more ways than one).
