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. 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. Staff will usually help with searches, printing, online forms and reserving books from elsewhere in the network. Regulars know that after-school hours bring children and students, that mornings are quieter and that you can often renew items online. Check opening days before you go, as hours can differ between branches. Howick village has cafes and shops close by, which makes a library visit easy to combine with an outing.
For anyone in Howick and the eastern suburbs, Howick Library on Picton Street is a free local place to read, borrow and meet.
