An independent art library on level 2 of Samoa House, 283 Karangahape Road, in central Auckland. It is artist-run and grew out of the closure of specialist art libraries at the University of Auckland. The collection is built mostly from donated books and resources, and the space is open to people who want to meet, study or work. It hosts a calendar of group discussions, workshops and other public programmes, and it has ten studio spaces for individual artists or arts organisations. The library is open Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 5pm. It is run by the Save Fine Arts Library Charitable Trust, funded by Creative New Zealand grants and small fundraisers, and supported by volunteers. Samoa House was built with the Samoa House Appeal Fund and opened in 1978, and its first fale built outside Samoa stands on the site. Visitors who need lift access are asked to contact the library first.
