Hagley College's library is a large, welcoming space for study, research and reading, filled with books, magazines and computers. The website says it is one of the school's most used facilities. Its address is Christchurch Central City.
The collection includes fiction and non-fiction, an e-book collection, easy readers, children's books, the daily newspaper and a range of magazines. Students can borrow up to four books for three weeks, and there is a colour photocopier and printer. The library staff help students find information for their coursework. One customer warns that there is no after-hours returns slot and no sign showing how to return books when the library is shut.
