Dominion Day, 2007
A feature of the centenary celebrations of New Zealand's adoption of dominion status was the illumination of the Parliamentary Library. In 1907 Parliament Buildings had been illuminated with lights spelling out the words ‘Advance New Zealand’. For the centenary in 2007, the arches and roofline of the Library were illuminated on the evenings of 25 and 26 September. This was the first such illumination since 1937.
