The Arapaki Manners Library and Service Centre will close on Friday 27 September 2024.
In-person services will move to Council service desks located within Te Awe Library and Johnsonville Library.
Our Council service desks will provide the same services as Arapaki Service Centre, however they will be cashless.

Why we are moving
Council voted to close the Arapaki Library and Service Centre as part of the 2024-34 Long-term Plan decisions.
In-person services provided at Arapaki Service Centre will move to Council service desks located within Te Awe Library and Johnsonville Library.
The Arapaki Library and Service Centre opened as a temporary location, following the closure of the Central Library in 2019.
The Central Library is undergoing earthquake strengthening and modernisation. It is expected to reopen in 2026.
