Story

The first library in New Lynn was opened in 1957 and held just 7000 books.

The current library now holds nearly 50,000 items in a custom-designed building opened in 2005. The collection includes fiction, non-fiction, large print, magazines, DVDs, CDs, multicultural and Maori, not to mention access to Auckland Libraries Digital Library. Upstairs, you can browse the Reference collection, get extra help from a Reference Librarian and enjoy our computer suite with free internet and a range of computer classes. We also offer a fun and friendly Children's area, a space especially for Teens, and lots of happy, helpful librarians. We look forward to seeing you at New Lynn War Memorial Library.

Reviews

I have been to this library before and had good experiences but today the staff were having a meeting in a room beside the kids area with the door open. A lady came out and told them to be quiet I said it’s hard for 2 year olds to keep it down and she advised it wasn’t a play ground. Well to two year olds it seems like it is and I am not going to stop them being enthusiastic about reading books. I understand being respectful but she was very rude and we could hear the meeting with staff complaining which is unprofessional. I didn’t even feel comfortable taking any books out. Why have a resource like this if you don’t expect it to be used? Maybe this message will give the staff something to complain about in there next meeting or maybe they should have meetings in closed rooms.

The library is in a great location and tourist spot area and good equipments of books and materials, however staff here are unfriendly,  unprofessional  and unhelpful! I would say need more humanity Training and Never bring personal life to work.

Excellent environment. They have ample physical book collections.  Also have the computer and internet access facilities in level 1. I especially loved their 30 minutes with children and kids under 5, like wriggle and rhymes.

I was here with a friend of mine to organise a Workshop in one of their Meeting Rooms. I must say, this room is well equipped and is a great choice for a group of 15-20 people. It has a tiny kitchenette of its own that has a microwave, hot water facility, cups and other basic requirements. There’s table and enough chairs with a white board and marker pens. We were able to use this spot without any issues and I might return here for another workshop at some point. Would highly recommend! : Cheers

Unfortunately  there is a lady with grey hair that is not welcome to us at all, she does  not like to help my 10 years old girl and when she asked her for a book she Saud go to paper plus and buy it, that was the second time that this happened  and my girl was so embarrassed  this time and said to me ; I am always  so respectful  to this lady but she does  not  like me for some reason and,  it broke  my heart as my daughter taught  something  is wrong  with  her that the lady does not  like her and doesn't  like to help her, In the kids area there  were a teenage couple  lying  inside  which was not comfortable  but she just keep warning a little  girl  that was climbing up and down,  So embarrassed  and never go back there again,

Been to collect the western leader news paper. Has a good size library with good sitting area too.

I really love this library, staff are always smiley and kind, easy to access with cheap all-day parking, usually really clean and free Wi-Fi. Would recommend turning up as soon as they open if you are wanting a table to study for the day as it gets quite busy. The only downside is it is extremely noisy, I understand and respect the community aspect but I do wish there was a silent/quiet area to study in as I usually spend a full day studying here :

Great library in a super convenient location! Only downside is that I  wish it stayed open later on the weekend, at least until the same time as the mall maybe? It's spacious and airy inside, it doesn't feel too crammed like some libraries where I have trouble walking around with my baby buggy inside. I haven't had much interaction with the staff, but some are more personable and friendly than others though. Great collection of books and loads of magazines especially craft/hobbies ones. I'm a knitter and Dyer and they've got the biggest selection here. I've yet to attend one of the many fun sessions for babies, I really must give one a try.

I love this library, mainly becasue of the staff.  Great selection of Books, and the staff are really helpful. Also a wonderful selection of magazines.  Yeah it can be noisy - but let's face reality - where else is there for kids to go in New Lynn - New Lynn is not exactly a place catering to young people.

I had the help from a very patient and helpful Library Assistant. Many thanks +++++
