Waiheke Library

Overview

Waiheke Library is Waiheke’s only community library, it was built new in 2014-2015, offering a wide range of book hires, after school programmes and more.

This newer complex has more parking, plus a big concrete outside location for hang outs and social meetups. Sometimes there are performances hosted there. This includes a big 3 metre chess board, cultural sculptures, outdoor seating, drinking fountain and more.

The library has access to a 3d printer, you will need to have the time to wait around for your item to finish, but a great value option to make a design.

The library moved from next door where Waiheke Adult Learning is currently located. The newer building is about 800sqm and has many features. I will list many of the features below.
