Takapuna Library is listed as a library at St Johns Park in Auckland, although the name points to Takapuna on the North Shore, so check the address before you travel. It has a 4.6 rating on Google.
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. 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 on the Auckland Libraries website before you go, as hours can differ between branches.
For anyone in Takapuna and around, Takapuna Library is a free local place to read, borrow and meet.
