The day the Anzac legend was born

To find out more about this landmark event in the history of the nation, come to the library and explore the legend by looking through the pictures, photographs, old letters and artefacts documented in books from the collection.

There will be reading lists and book displays at Wellington Library with some of the best that has been published about WWI and ANZAC day available for view or loan.

Titles include: 25 April 1915: The Day the Anzac Legend was Born by David W. Cameron, which has been reviewed as a "riveting, superbly researched account" and Peter Fitzsimons Gallipoli, written with his "trademark vibrancy and expert melding of writing and research".

If visuals are more to your taste, the beautiful ANZAC Treasures: The Gallipoli Collection of the Australian War Memorial is an incredible book at seeing memorabilia from the war and for animal lovers, Bill the Bastard by Roland Perry tells the story of Australia's greatest war horse.
