Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro noonaa te ngahere,
ko te manu e kai ana i te maatauranga noonaa te ao.

The bird who partakes of knowledge, theirs is the world!

Hamilton City Libraries uses double vowels in te reo Maaori to represent a long vowel sound as it is the preference of Waikato-Tainui. You will see this writing convention on our website and on signage at our libraries, however the titles, authors, and subject headings in our catalogue may use a single vowel with a macron.
