A library and community hub at 11 Kohuhu Lane in Westgate, in the north-west of Auckland. Te Manawa is a Māori name meaning "the heart", and the listing describes it as part of Auckland Council's library network. Customers mention the kids' space most often, and say it is a good place for children and adults. The library also serves as a meeting place for the community, and one visitor who has been to several Auckland libraries says this one is designed as both a library and a hub.
Customers praise the friendly staff and librarians. One visitor went in for a Justice of the Peace service and said it was done in a minute. Customers say the building is always tidy. The views on events are mixed: one reviewer said events are often cancelled at short notice, so an event that sounds appealing may not go ahead. Staff are friendly, and the kids' space and community role are the main reasons people come.
