We welcome all members of our school whānau into the library — it is a calm, inclusive space for reading, researching or relaxing quietly during interval and lunchtime.

Ākonga are encouraged to share their suggestions, and we will do our best to provide requested pukapuka (books) where appropriate to support their interests, passions and learning within subject areas.

We’re here to support our ākonga on their learning journey and create a space where everyone feels respected and valued whilst creating a lifelong love of reading and looking for answers.
