Auckland Libraries is welcoming the decision from The Film and Literature Classification Board of Review on Ted Dawe’s novel Into The River.
An Interim Restriction Order was placed on the book in September. Auckland Libraries submitted to the classification board in support of Into The River, on the basis that the work should be unrestricted.
“We welcome the board’s decision to lift the restriction on Ted Dawe’s Into The River,” Louise LaHatte, Auckland Libraries’ Manager, Regional Collections, says.
“We have now started to make our copies available across our region’s network of libraries. We have a long list of requests and customers who have been waiting will start to get notices advising they can pick it up from their local library.”
