Mangawhai Library users now enjoy the same standard of services as those using the Dargaville Library.
Since August 20, the library has provided digital support, programmes and events, te ao Māori integration, and connect up with the community via outreach and social media, according to Kaipara District Council.
The library, first established by volunteers 130 years ago, has seen “exponential user growth” as the population has increased.
“We are positioned to become an even more vital hub for the local community,” lead librarian Molly Molving-Lilo says.
“Libraries are not just books – they offer a space for people of all ages to learn, explore, and connect. I look forward to collaborating with our terrific volunteers and staff to foster a welcoming space for everyone.”
The library has extended its hours. It’s open from 10-5 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10-6 on Thursdays and 10-1 on Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
