Sir Edmund Hillary Library (Papakura)

This library may be a little hard to find. Down the arcade from the Main St or lvl3 from the carport. Stairs or elevator to use. Nice & quiet on the Saturday I was there, good to finish some paperwork I needed to do. A few people about.

Situated in the Museum and Library building on Great South Road in Papakura, this place is a great asset for the town. The building was built from the proceeds of the sale of Papakura's interest in the Auckland Airport. The library is spacious with a good range of books on offer for loan. There are spaces for study, and areas have been used for art exhibitions. There is a JP service that is well used.A disposal service for user laser printing services is also available. The library doubles as an Auckland City Council service centre with a limited range of services available.

I've gone here to study since I'm in my last year of high school, and it's always amazing! I can always find books on the topic I'm studying, and it's always tidy, clean and quiet. Plan on using it for studies once I graduate and enroll in university, as well!

I really enjoy Papakura library and have been going there for about 15years since studying NCEA and university papers.nnIt's large with plenty of books, DVDs and printing/copying facilities. It's quite clean and the staff are very helpful. There are lots of computers you can book and use as well.nnI like that there is security because Papakura isn't the safest place and occasionally you get rough people being disruptive in the library.nnIt's opposite the Papakura museum which is a great place of interest to check out. Also I have been in the meeting rooms for community yoga which were super clean and even had a kitchenette :nNOTE: I recommend going to the bathroom before you visit because the public toilet is not very clean!!! It's shared with all rather than just a library toilet facility.

An absolutely amazing building architecture and has book for everyone. They book in Punjabi and Hindi language as well. You can browse internet, take prints and do scans. You can also rent movies. Highly recommended for family with kids. Finding a parking can be a bit challenge in this area though.
