The purpose of Wellington City Libraries Website is to provide Wellingtonians with a virtual place to access their first choice in fact and fiction.
The Website as it exists today is unique. It is designed to be constantly growing and to be constantly evolving.Our goal is to move towards providing access to all our services through our Virtual Branch, in addition to our physical locations, to provide Wellingtonians with a window of access to information available both locally and globally, and to provide the world with a window in to Wellington City Libraries.
The provision of the site is consistent with and reflective of the Wellington City Council vision outlined in "Our City - Our Future, strategy for the future of Wellington".The site has grown from the dynamic environment of creativity and innovationthat is Wellington City.It incorporates Wellington's goals of providing all people with equitable access to community and public resources, facilitating access to the City's information resources, and provision of an abundant and diverse range of affordable, quality recreation and leisure activities and opportunities.
