About Leys Institute Little Library

Leys Institute Little Library is a library at 14 Jervois Rd, listed under Arch Hill, in the Ponsonby area of Auckland. It has a 4.9 rating on Google. The Leys Institute is a long-standing community library building on Jervois Road, and this entry appears to be a small library linked to it.

A little library is a small, weatherproof box of books where neighbours take a book and leave one in return, with no cards, fines or opening hours. When you visit, bring a book you have finished to share, and take one that catches your eye, since the stock changes as people add and remove titles. Regulars know that children's books and popular novels go quickly, that damp or damaged books are best left out so the box stays tidy and that the main library nearby can lend a wider range if you have a library card. Keep the door closed so books stay dry, and leave only suitable titles. Jervois Road has cafes and shops close by, so a stop pairs well with a walk.

For anyone in Ponsonby and Arch Hill, the Leys Institute Little Library on Jervois Road is an easy, free place to swap a book.
