One of the best experiences I've had on Wellington. Some of the most important documents in the history of New Zealand are on display. Great info displays as well -- in two hours I learned more about the history of New Zealand more than I did in eight previous visits. Frankly, I did mostly hiking back then. A very pleasant cafeteria. Free entrance.
Use the online service to locate and request information. Then visit. An archivist is available at the desk to help direct you to information and computers. There is a free scanner to use, email sends the scans back to you. Understand the files you want available to read request a week in advance via the online request system. The files are located from storage. You can request a limited number of files at a time. I loaded twice so my visit wasn't wasted.nIt is also good the library is in the same location as the reading room.nCan easily spend days there if you are researching specific topic needing specific information.nThe cafe on the ground floor is a place to take on water, caffeine and a snack. Then return.
I had a truly enchanting experience at this splendid library. Its elegant ambiance, adorned with antique gadgets from bygone eras, creates an inviting atmosphere for both reading and work. The abundance of tables ensures you'll find your perfect spot. Adding to the charm, there's a delightful coffee shop on the ground floor where you can savor a cup of your favorite brew. The staff, with their warm and accommodating demeanor, make the visit all the more enjoyable. A haven for book lovers and history enthusiasts alike, this library is a must-visit gem!
Come here looking for references and old documents/photos related to work.nnGreatly helped by one of the staff who assisted us patiently and thoroughly through the catalogues and online websites. She’s an angel! I feel bad not asking her name .nnThe place is very quaint, perfect quiet place to work. It has many computers that can be used and books that can be read, but not to be taken out. Printers are available.nWe can be members and orders some materials, including high resolution images for examples. Some are free, some come with fee. Check out the website for details.nnThe place is disability friendly, including the toilet.nnThere’s cafe and souvenir shops on the 1st floor
My daughter sent here and they don’t do night school and they didn’t allow ketchup and my daughter can’t eat her nuggets without the sauce so she just starved the whole time. TERRIBLE
