What does Tāmiro mean?
"The Library collaborated with Te Reo and weaving experts to select the name Tāmiro. The name reflects the concept of weaving the past into the future; Miro means thread as well as the action of fusing the high end fibre part of the plant (muka) together. Tāmiro is to draw together the fibres to become one. These fibres are highly valued by master weavers. Thus the name is about drawing items together (past and present) to create the best of the best for the future" Library Out Loud. You are invited to watch our short video about Tāmiro.
