Public Libraries of New Zealand works with libraries across the country to make sure all of us have access to lifelong learning opportunities and information.

If you’re a fact finder or self-educator, research whizz or champion reader - that is, anyone who enjoys learning - your local library can fuel your curiosity and broaden your experience of the world. 

Librarians everywhere use their knowledge and know-how to give people access to information, and help them pick-up new skills.

Libraries help children and young people develop imagination and creativity. They give adults opportunities to learn about digital technologies and how to use them. They keep collections of a community's cultural heritage, and open doors to current thinking in all areas of human endeavour.
