Tere Atu ~ Tere Mai is our Library of Things, aptly named as they’re swift loan out's (atu) and back (mai) in one week. These items can be borrowed at no cost and no deposit, just like our books and help support you with your creative pursuits like public events, communication, entertainment, and more.

Who can borrow these items?

These shared resources are for our reliable library members. You must have been a member for at least 6 months, be 18+, and not have any overdues or charges on your account.

How do I borrow something?

If you're in the library, take a box from the shelf and bring it to the front desk. A staff member will take you through the rest. Online - you can reserve items by logging into your Te Tāhuhu o Te Rangi account.
