Tapu Te Ranga | Island Bay closing early

Tapu Te Ranga | Island Bay Library will close at 5:30 today due to staff illness. The afterhours slots will be open and we expect to be open as usual tomorrow.

Systems maintenance - Wednesday 23 July

From 8.30am-9am you may experience a short outage as we undertake some work on this website - we apologise if you experience any impact. NB. The online library catalogue and access to your library card will not be affected by this work.

Youth Nights

These after-hours library takeovers featuring games, pizza, crafts and more are for taiohi aged 14-18. You'll be the only ones in the library!

Our Youth Nights are after-hours events, which means that the library is closed to everyone else.

If you're into gaming, books, making music, watching movies, making friendship bracelets, discussing controversial classical poets or costume design, eating pizza, or just generally hanging out then there'll be something for you!

Our Youth Nights are totally free (pizza included!) but you do need to be 14+ in order to come, so please come prepared to show your student ID. Once you’re in, our spaces are yours!

Our regular schedule is presented below, but you can always check our event calendar for the most up-to-date times and locations.
