A good small-town library is judged less by shelf space than by what its staff can bring in: district networks let you reserve titles held at other branches, and interloan can pull a book from libraries across New Zealand, usually within a week or two. The building itself works as a community sitting room — a warm seat, free Wi-Fi and computers for those without them at home, newspapers, and school-holiday activities for children. Librarians are the best resource of all; tell them what you enjoy reading and they will surface things browsing alone never finds.
For Dannevirke readers, this Station Street branch is the town's own door into all of it.
