Botany Library is a library on Level 1 of Botany Town Centre, 588 Chapel Rd, in east Auckland, with a 4.4 rating on Google. The directory also files it under Eden Terrace, which looks like a mix-up, so go by the Botany Town Centre address.
A good library does much more than lend books. It offers a quiet place to read or work, free internet and computers, audiobooks and films, and programmes such as children's story time and holiday activities. A library inside a shopping centre is easy to combine with errands, so it suits a quick browse. Most Auckland libraries work on one library card that can be used at any branch, so you can return items at a different branch from where you borrowed them. Regulars know that after-school hours bring children and students, that mornings are quieter and that staff will help with searches, printing and online forms if you ask. Check opening hours before you go, as centre libraries may keep different hours from the shops.
For anyone in Botany and east Auckland, Botany Library at Botany Town Centre is a free, convenient place to read and borrow.
