St Heliers Library

Fantastic library that captured the hearts of the community, providing services and support beyond the scopes of a standard library, with a plethora of books, magazines and services on offer, this library is a community must.nCheck with the library for their Saturday programs for tamariki and also proving a temporary office for justice of the peace services at scheduled hours.nParking might be a challenge but there are several bus routes nearby making it an easy visit.nnTwo thumbs up!

Really wanted to be able to use and enjoy my community library, but there seems to be no proper monitoring of the computer use. My library card offers 4-hours of computer use per day, yet it is difficult to get access to a computer. To make this more limiting, the librarians allow an unhoused man to use the computers for unlimited sessions and store his heap of personal bags/belongings next to the computer stations. This leaves 3 remaining computers for other library goers to utilize. The librarians should be more diligent in keeping a sanitary environment and take responsibility in ensuring that the computers can be shared by all.

We absolutely love St Heliers Library. It’s a gorgeous space with a fantastic collection, and it’s always clean and welcoming. The team are incredibly friendly and make every visit enjoyable. We especially love the events they put on, Storytime on Saturday mornings is a highlight for us. Such a wonderful community library!

Great little library in an Old Heritage building, small amount of packing out back. Great place to do some paperwork or study. Still reasonably busy here but found quiet corner to finish work.

A beautiful library with charming, long-standing architecture. There are always different activities happening, and even though it’s not very big, it feels warm and welcoming for the community.
