We are excited! The "Super City" that we become part of on 1st November signals the creation of a "Super Library". Instead of the resources of just seven Rodney Libraries, from the 1st of November your Library card will work at all 55 libraries through Auckland. That's right - 55 libraries.
Here is a snapshot of what it's going to look like:
- 55 Libraries from Wellsford in the north through to Waiuku and Tuakau in the South
- You can borrow (in person or by request) from any of these libraries, and return your books to any library
- Choose from a massive 3.5 million library items. As well as the items you already find at Rodney Libraries (fiction and non-fiction books, CD's, DVD's, audio books, magazines, activities and events) we will have access to some new resources such as sheet music and downloadable audio books
- Free general borrowing remains as do free requsets from other libraries
- Some borrowing fees will reduce. Rental DVD's will be $2 for a week (instead of $5). Some items we currently charge for will be free
That's just a snapshot of the changes but there are many more. Call into your local library and pick up one of the Auckland Libraries brochures to find out more. And watch this space for more information in the lead in to 1st November.
