Today, we say a fond farewell and a big thank you to our wonderful He Matapihi Molesworth Library — a well-loved part of Pōneke’s library network for the past four years. Titiro whakamuri, haere whakamua — remember, and move forwards.

FAQs – Te Whare Pukapuka o He Matapihi  Closure

He Matapihi Molesworth Library opened its doors to the public for the first time on October 9 2019, the second of our pop-up CBD branches after the closure of the Central Library. We have loved getting to know our library patrons in Thorndon and its surrounds, and we’d like to say a big thank you to our Pōneke public who have visited us over this time and made us your local.

Thank you also to our friends at the National Library who have graciously hosted us for the past four years — most especially, thank you for your kind invitation to work together to establish this service, and to serve Pōneke together. You have made us very welcome in your space.

We hope to see our He Matapihi customers at Te Awe Library and around our library branches. Farewell and thank you He Matapihi Library, here are some of your highlights over the last four years and a final look around this well-loved space!
