Library services available at Arapaki

We have roughly 7,500 items on the shelves at any one time.  A small children’s collection features alongside a range of fiction, non-fiction and AV items.

Library staff are on hand to answer questions, process payments, register new customers, and provide support and advice on the wide range of online content available through our eLibrary.

Please note that Arapaki is a relatively small space; internet access computers and some casual seating is available, however we may not be able to provide activities at this location.
