đ Takes no power:
Books galore! Puzzles! Comics! Non-fiction! And did we mention books?
đ§ Low power:
Ebooks! Audio books! Even free movie streaming (low power if you turn the lights out)
Our librarians are standing by hoping to connect you with the best thing you've never read.
Open till 6:00pm Friday and from 9:00am - 1:00pm on weekends. Using less power will help share the load and mean more people can get electricity when they need it.

In The Postâs opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weâre âallergic to exuberance.â

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itâs worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
