One of the newest Auckland libraries. Facilities are still very new, clean, neat and modern. Good variety of children's books, lots of seating areas by the window if you just want to soak yourself in the sun while enjoying your fav book. Location wise it is right outside Northwest shopping centre and eateries. It hasnt got enough parking spaces so recommed parking your car at the mall carpark. Otherwise one of our favroite librarires to visit.

We love this place! Kids area is great, there are some nice toys but most of all an amazing collection of children’s books (including many Islamic children’s books 🥰) and cozy reading places. Always fun to go there! And if a book isn’t available I request it and it’s mostly available within a day or 2/3 😄 …

This is a wonderful space for all ages and walks of life. It’s very spacious and has a large variety of books(it has books in languages other than English too, namely Chinese, Japanese, Maori and possibly others). The staff are friendly and efficient. I love coming here to study and read. It has free wifi and charging ports.

the library became a very nice place after they fixed the cooling system, you can eat and drink quietly here too in case you need to study it can be sometimes a bit noisy but its always different here, the days. its not a classical library but very interesting one all in all i loved it here during my time in New Zealand ps: maybe extension on the opening times to 7:30 p.m. would be good

A modern newly build library which function as the community hall. We meet three different groups of people using the second and third floor to have function. The ground floor is having a photographer displays. It's has also basic library facilities: books, videos, computers, study areas.

One of the best purposely built libraries in Auckland. Love the atmosphere and the space. It got plenty of places for all different age groups to relax and read. There are great remote working areas and meeting rooms. Staff is really helpful and supportive.

Hands down the cleanest, prettiest community spaces I’ve been to! The staff here are absolutely friendly, welcoming and make you feel at home! Would highly recommend working with te Manawa or popping in to get out a library or booking with them to use a facility of theirs. Exceptional team that work here and beautiful well organised community space.

Loved visiting this beautiful library with our grandson. Library staff were very friendly & helpful. The children visiting were really enjoying the space. Lots of different levels for the book displays so even the toddlers could explore titles. Lots of quiet spaces/cubby holes where you could find a bit of peace to enjoy a read. I was really impressed with the ease to self issue of your selection of books. We will definately return. Thank you.
