- Abstract
The author reflects on the library field in New Zealand. She notes the growing role of library professionals in working with Pasifika clients and those with Pacific interests and/or research needs in the 21st century. Particular focus is given to the projected increase in the Pasifika population in 2035, along with the literacy rate and educational achievement among Pasifika students. She points out librarians face the challenge of reversing this literacy trend and to ensure that this population enjoy libraries as part of their lived experiences.
