We help with homework, research, and finding recreational reading material.
Visit the library in Blenheim or Picton or contact us via email or telephone.
Can’t find what you’re looking for in our catalogue?
Search the New Zealand Libraries Catalogue (Te Puna) for your request and we may be able to borrow it for you via the inter-library loan service, as an ‘interloan’ (an interloan fee will apply).
Go to the Te Puna website to search
