Monkey Hill Community Library is a library at 10 George Street, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024, with a Google rating of 5.0. By its name, it is a community-run library.
A good community library is a welcoming, free or low-cost place to borrow books and meet neighbours. Smaller community libraries are often run by volunteers, so check opening hours before you go, and ask how borrowing works, whether you need to join, how long you can keep items and whether there is a fee. Ask about children's books, local history and any events such as story time or book swaps, which are common at neighbourhood libraries. Donations of good-quality books are often welcome, but ask what they accept first, since space is limited. Regulars return items on time, since small libraries rely on a short loop of books and volunteers, and they help out where they can.
